I just watched a chicken chase a cat from my yard, across the street to my neighbor Elke’s house. Even if I’d had my camera in my hand at the time it wouldn’t have done any good; you had to see it motion to appreciate the absurdity of it.

UPDATE: Moments ago the same chicken chased after a blue-jay that landed on the lawn briefly.  Blue-jays are typically tough birds, but I guess the lesson here is that chickens have an undeserved reputation for cowardice.
