Fowl play! The moment Doberman puppy was tormented by brazen chicken who kept stealing his food



Whoever coined the phrase ‘bird brain’ has never seen the hilarious video of a plucky chicken who outsmarted a Doberman pup by stealing his food right from under his nose.

The short clip posted online by Brian Blanchette shows his pet Doberman pinscher named Logan when he was 6 months old being tormented by a pack of chickens at mealtime.



The video clocking in at just under 2 minutes is set to a jaunty banjo solo, which provides a perfect accompaniment for the slapstick comedy playing out in the yard of Blanchette’s New England home.

Unwelcome guests: The short clip posted online by Brian Blanchette shows his Doberman named Logan when he was 6 months old being tormented by a pack of chickens

Bird of prey: The large black hen is shown boldly raiding Logan's bowl, with the pup helplessly looking on



Bold move: The feathered thief slid between Logan's front paws, sticking her head in the basin filled with dog food before he had a chance to stop her

The video begins with a trio of black, brown and white chickens pacing around the young Doberman eating dog food out of a steel bowl.



One of the hens, a large black bird, begins encroaching on poor Logan's personal space and stealing morsels that had fallen on the ground.



The puppy makes a futile attempt to scare off the beaked intruder, but it proves futile as the hen returns time and again to the scene of the crime, ever ready to dine and dash.

The pooch helplessly tries to defend his breakfast, only to be outsmarted by the conniving fowl that runs circles around him.



At one point, the feathered thief sticks her head between a confused-looking Logan's front paws and dips her head into the basin before the dog can do anything to stop her.



The pup appears no match for the brazen chicken, so he rushes to finish his meal before the bird wolfs down every remaining piece of food.



According to Logan’s owner, this was not the pup’s first breakfast interrupted by his feathered housemates.



Dine and dash: Desperate to salvage his snack, the puppy tried to hurriedly wolf down the remaining food, but the chicken was able to keep up with his pace



Breakfast's over: With very last morsel of food cleared from the bowl, the thieving birds rushed off

Another video posted on Blanchette’s YouTube channel around the same time shows all three hens descending on Logan’s bowl and snatching his food.
