The video\u2019s caption reveals:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cFrancis is an exceptionally affectionate hen who exhibits an extraordinary response to being tickled. Among 40 animals at a Texas hobby farm, she coexists with goats, pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, and a fish. The farm is a sanctuary for several special needs animals, all of which have been rescued. Lisa, who has a background in commercial film, has turned her attention to amusing pet antics and bringing laughter to people during the COVID era. The video assures viewers that Francis experiences no discomfort during her laughter episodes; she\u2019s simply reacting to the sensation of touch, a delightful example of anthropomorphism where she genuinely seems to be laughing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Though not verified, it is speculated that Francis could belong to the rare Ayam Ketawa breed, also known as the laughing chicken, distinguished by its unique \u201cmaniacal laughing vocalizations<\/strong>\u201d as described by Greenfire Farm\u2019s website. Originating from Indonesia, Ayam Ketawa chickens were historically exclusive to the royal family, a status symbol until broader ownership was permitted recently.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The video captures Lisa introducing Francis, setting the stage for the anticipated demonstration. Lisa prefaces the moment with, \u201cThis is Francis, and if she does what she usually does, this will be adorable. She\u2019s an easter egger, and you\u2019re in for a treat. Have you ever witnessed a chicken laugh?\u201d As Francis begins to squawk softly, the real show is just about to start.<\/p>\n Lisa teases, \u201cReady, Francis?\u201d before gently tickling her under the wings, prompting Francis to erupt into wild, cackling laughter. The sound is more akin to a loud cackle. Lisa pauses, allowing Francis a brief respite from her laughter.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Embarking on a second round, Francis dives back into her fit of giggles under Lisa\u2019s tickles, resembling a human\u2019s reaction to being tickled, scampering off from the overwhelming sensation. Lisa concludes, \u201cAnd that\u2019s Francis laughing. I hope you found joy in that.\u201d<\/p>\n Click the video below to watch this incredible story!<\/strong><\/p>\nImage\/Story Source Credit: ViralHog via YouTube Video<\/p>\n
