I went out to check horses and this is what I find. I can say with certainty that this horse is one broke dude. Thank you Lord I needed this today…..Jason Thorne

An alternative headline for this video is, “Horse Wears Chicken as Hat.” But that might be misleading, because it really doesn’t look like Rocky, the chestnut horse in the video, wants the chicken-hat to be there. At least not at first. Ultimately, the chicken and the horses seem to enjoy each other’s company.

Rocky accepted him very well, and in the end, I think he wanted his company back on board!
how cute
Hey pal, just don't lay an egg while you're up there! Nicker Nicker!
That was so cute. I feed my chickens and geese under the horses feet, so they get use to moving things under them.
so adorable.
Does this color look good on me! LOL!
In my Easter Bonnet, with all the frills upon it!
Poor Rocky, gotta listen to a chicken squawking in his ears! I'd be more worried about chicken poop in his hay feeder and grain feeder! Bad stuff!
