A day or so ago, I was gathering the eggs from the chicken coop as I do each night. I needed to move a hen out of the way, so I picked her up. After holding her still for a second so she could calm down, I started moving her toward the nearest convenient flat surface. As I did that, I noticed a funny sight: the hen kept her head at the same elevation relative to the ground, rather than to the rest of her body. Moving her slowly up and down caused her to stretch her neck out in an attempt to keep her head in the same place. (She didn't want to go anywhere.)
It was really a hilarious sight to see. I wish I could have taken pictures or a video of it, but I do have some pictures of other chickens I manage:
