I hear something like a growl, which they might think is a predator, but the first chicken had already frozen by then, Maybe that one heard it first?

Could be. It doesn’t take much to blow a chicken’s one-watt brain. Quickly draw a line in front of one with chalk and it’s stunned just like this.

I think chickens can see Lidar (assuming it’s a newer phone)?

I’ve never been able to figure out how a bird that small can carry around a baseball bat. Isn’t nature a wonder?

Standard chicken behaviour when threatened, movement is easier to spot if your defence is camouflage.
We used to play a game in primary school of wolf and chickens where the “wolf” turned their back on a line of “chickens” who approached calling ‘what’s the time, Mr Wolf?’ when the answer was ‘dinner time’ the wolf would spin round and the chickens had to freeze, any spotted moving were out of the game, the goal was to tag the wolf [memory might be dimmed].

@mofolotopo I think you have a good chance of winning today’s internet.
As for the chickens, I think she staged it as a prank. If we had another leg, she’d pullet.
(But yeah, this is classic ‘predator alert!’ behaviour.)
