Chickenz

Dad's not happy – he had to stay home and watch the kids.

Chickenz are the most common type of poultry in the world, clucking in at about 19 billion.[1][2] In contrast, there are only 7.5 billion people alive right now.[3] This comes to about 2.5 chickens per human, clearly we are outnumbered.[4] We should be concerned. Since perhaps only knowledgeable Wikipedians know this now, many editors have already developed Alektorophobia.[5] Signs of unrest continue to come in.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Much of the anger coming from hens, capons, chicks and roosters is associated with the Wikipedia articles which cast them as buffons and simpletons. These include:
