So why did the chicken cross the road? More importantly, why does the chicken in this video complete a challenging obstacle course? Yes — that's right — an obstacle course.

With the guidance of one little girl, the creature successfully overcomes multiple physical challenges, culminating in an epic hoop jump.

Defying the stereotype of being a bird brain, the flightless gal successfully takes orders from the human being and does surprisingly well.

Indeed, the creature keeps good form and doesn't act like a chicken with its head cut off … oh whoops! I mean, it doesn't act in a fowl manner … darn ... she doesn't chicken out ... oh, never mind!
