I know nothing about chickens other than what I've observed since moving to the Big Island 2 years ago.
My landlord lets me feed his chickens. I buy the seed and scatter it for them under my covered parking spot, where I sit to read and write. It's relaxing and I've gotten to know a bit about these fascinating creatures.
To make a long story short, one bird refuses to come within 20 feet of me, even when the others are clustering around me. She acts as if the others are invisible, and goes about her business as usual. Is this bird emotionally challenged, or is this an evolutionary leap in which a chicken has finally figured out that people eat them???
