Ha! That is pretty funny, i never hear them called cobra chickens before.

My dad was an avid upland game and waterfowl hunter. As a young teenager spent many fk'ing freezing Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday mornings in a bare Nebraska field surrounded by stupid decoys with a sheet over us to blend in with the snow. He thought that was a rocking great time. And of course I was the one to run out and fetch the birds we shot, and if they were wounded they would be really pissed off could tear you up...they are really strong.

Great eating, though. And a really beautiful bird up close.

I had no idea they were so aggro. I laughed my ass off at the name even.

True story, hiking in upstate VT, Green Mtns. Myself, not yet Wife and our 2 big bad German Shepherds. Came up on a lake in time to see Momma and Dad Canada Geese with a string of goslings in tow. They saw us and just lost it, charged, running across the top of the water, honking, blood in their eyes. Both Shepherds tucked tail and bolted. We dropped our packs and ran like hell too, laughing like idiots. Good times.

Had a ton of geese on our lake in upper Michigan one summer. Thought it was a good idea to swim under water grab one by the feet, pull it under and have roasted goose for dinner. It seemed easy enough, but turned out to be the first of the many times I've faced death. It still gives me nightmares

The kid probably slipped on goose sh_t. They are sh__ting machines. I used to go to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD (my in laws home town) and it was absolutely covered.

Try and chase them out of there....at your own risk.
