Guys please how do I overcome my fear for Chicken I.E Fowl. Each time I see a very closely captured pic of chicken it irritates me...can't even look at it for 2 seconds.

I can't even touch a chicken, the skin or feather really irritates and scares me a lot... the mouth of the chicken hmmm I can't touch it o. I am not a kid o slightly above 30 yrs old. Though I can carry it by holding its legs if it is tied o, but the moment the chicken starts flapping its feathers, I could drop it because of fear.

Another thing is that, any time I see the head or legs of a chicken inside a soup I will never eat that soup....but I love eaten chicken fried laps and wings sha .

Don't want my future kids to know that their dad can't carry a chicken or even kill a chicken o.

Hahaha this reminds me of a woman I saw yesterday at the market...See the way she ran when the Layers she held started struggling.

e dey ur body

Funny you

But you can eat chicken?

You don't have to be worried about what your future children thinks.... You can't help what u fear sometimes... If it helps, I hate the very sight of millipede... If I see it.. it gives me some goosebumps.. Not necessarily afraid of it but it destroys my day.. if u know what I mean

since you can hold it a bit, and eat it,
you're fine.

I don't trust females who can kill chickens with no remorse.

I am not a weak female.

It is called Alektorophobia!

I laugh because I remember it was an undergrad exam question.

OP, I will encourage you to go read up on Exposure therapy/Desensitization therapy in relation to Alektorophobia, it will be of great help.

In other words, he should own or go work in a poultry?

What would recommend for someone with fear of heights?

Not because I feel sorry for them, but because they're beyond disgusting!

Exposure therapy under cognitive behavioural therapy is the preferred therapy option by therapists when dealing with phobias.

Realistically, we can not always have access to a therapist, so with the irrational fear of heights (acrophobia) the person can try to do the heights with someone who is comfortable with heights and who would be patient with them and chat through the experience as a way of distraction.

Just like toddlers with rickets, most of them fear walking as the bones are weak because the brain is telling the child the legs cannot support him/her. So during occupational therapy for such a child, the parents are encouraged that when they get home, they and other kid(s) at home (if any) should regularly match and dance to their toddler's favourite nursery rhymes while the child observes and it tends to trigger signals to the child's brain that having their feet on the ground is not a bad idea.

Cockroaches are scarier than chickens. Trust me.

Find a friend who keeps poultry. Tell him to lock you inside a chicken pen for 24 hrs with one big tray of feed on your lap. You will be cured. I give you guarantee.

Fast for 2months straight! Then come back and give testimony. Thank you. Don't mention

If you had posted this on romance section some redpillers would have called you a SIMP

Thank God I'm not alone in this phobia. I used to think I'm being weird for having this fear. Like... I can't pass through where a chicken is tied let alone walking beside a chicken. I'll just freak out.


I remember the year my dad bought Xmas chicken and it was time to kill it. The silly thing left the pantry where he kept it and entered the balcony about to fly downstairs. My dad said, chi!!! Go and get the chicken. Ha!

I looked at my mum like. " Mummy say something" my mum just turned away her face. As I was still standing dazed, my dad said "if that chicken flies off the balcony, you'll fly away with it".. haaaa.. that was how I looked for a very big cloth ( I can't touch it because of the way it wriggles) and covered the chicken from the back and carried it with all my last braveness to my dad. While my twin was there struggling with the second chicken I just dissappeared from the scene. I'm that scared of chicken even till now.

If I get married and my husband stubbornly brings a life chicken home, I'll vacate the house until the chicken is dead. lol...
