They could be admiring it as a piece of modern art.
Or maybe there’s a pleasant hissing sound coming from it they find soothing.

Chickens can be mean, though. 
They’re probably calling that new guy a drip behind his back!

A turkey hen once mistook me for an extremely tall alpha Tom because I was wearing purple corduroy jeans which she thought were feathers. That was a weird day. She refused to leave my side in my friend’s jungle yard, literally throwing herself on top of my shoes wherever I’d walk.
From then on my wife would call them “your turkey f-cker pants.”
