What is "alektorophobia"

n. The fear of chickens.

Alektorophobia is a specific phobia, the fear of chickens and other fowls such as roosters. Alektorophobia may also include eggs and dead chickens (although typically does not include cooked chickens). Suggested rationales for this fear include a general fear of birds, past trauma related to an attack or aggressive behavior by chickens, and feelings triggered by the daily habits and behaviors of chickens.
