Question: What do you fear if you have alektorophobia?
Answer: You have an intense fear of chickens or hens. Like other phobias, the fear people feel isn’t proportional to the threat chickens pose. Symptoms might include guilt, shame, intense worry or dread, along with physical symptoms such as nausea, sweating or shaking. It’s more common among people from rural areas, and could be sparked by experiencing a traumatic event involving a chicken.
