And...chickens ARE funny.
My neighbor has a dog named Sam. He talks to me. He says things. Bad things.
Why does everybody feel the need to question the chicken about crossing the road?
Bunch’a damn fascists.
They keep trying to cross the road all the time, don’t they?
I know blue jays do. I was sitting on the porch one day watching a blue jay watch our cat prepare a hole to go to the bathroom in. After said hole met the cat’s standards he turned around to put it to use. Just then the jay flew right by the cat and cat lunged at him but missed. Messed his hole up so he straightened it out meticulously. when satisfied he turned around to do his morning business and here came the blue jay again. This went on for a good ten minutes. It was hilarious and yes birds do have a sense of humor.
There would certainly be a lot more to them than we can really know.

“Do Chickens Have a Sense of Humor?”
The feminist ones sure don’t.
Yes they certainly do ,, but like people they differ greatly in intelligence ,, I have a parrot that enjoys conversing with one chicken in particular ,, the others are too dense and can’t hold a conversation.
Owls don’t give a hoot.
yes, they do....but it’s foul. :P
Whenever we took a butcher knife to lop off their heads, the chickens didn’t seem to have a sense of humor.
The more important question is, do they have large talons?
I wasn’t very outgoing at parties so I got a duck. He teaches me how to get down.
Petaluma, the chicken capital of the world
My SIL has chickens - 5 hens (was 6 ....). They all have personalities and they definitely “talk” to each other. We’ve also had chickens over the years & some were quite the characters ... Bruester the Blue Rooster (yup, there’s a story there), Big Daddy, Freckles, Egypt, etc.
I have no doubt that the hens were having quite a good time - any roosters around? That was probably what the story teller was gossiping about to the other hens (and why they were “laughing”) if there is.
Chickens ain’t all that smart.... trust me.
And...chickens ARE funny.
They’re viciousn, cowardly little velociraptors!
Birds are more complicated creatures than is generally assumed, especially those species that live in flocks. For example, a parrot that was intensively tutored by researchers to understand and use words seemed to have a sense of humor. One day, seeing a raw chicken on the kitchen counter, he chuckled and said “Oh, poor Pablo,” referring to an absent fellow parrot as if that was chicken carcass.
