#alektorophobic

From fearof.net:

“Alektorophobia, or the fear of chickens, is derived from the Greek word ‘Alektor’ which means ‘rooster’ and ‘phobos’ meaning ‘fear’. As the name indicates, this phobia causes an irrational fear of chickens (or other feathered creatures as well as their eggs) in the sufferer. It is not only seeing the chickens in person that causes a panic attack in the individual; sometimes, merely the images or photographs of chickens are enough to trigger such reactions.”

I don’t know why I’m afraid of chickens (not the eggs, and not other birds), I just know I am.  Yes, it’s a weird phobia, no, I don’t expect you to remember it all the time, and that’s perfectly fine.  I have a blanket tag of “Gin don’t look,” if you forget to tag something, that’s fine, I promise.
