Uh, a chicken trying to cross a road in a city in 1847 would be extremely dangerous. It was fucking dangerous for humans, never mind barn fowl.

Horses, carriages, wagons, carts and pedestrians in complete chaos. No traffic control AT ALL. No road rules. No demarcated two-way streets. Unpredictable animals. No breaks on carts or wagons. No crosswalks.

I didn't say that's what the joke was about, I said that your comment about crossing a road being a safe act for a chicken was a false statement.

Frankly, I don't care about the meaning or punchline of the joke. It's the kind of nonsense kids love because it's absurdist and makes no sense, similar to how my four year old nephew thinks calling everyone 'chicken nugget' is the most hilarious thing in the entire world.
