I disagree most vehemently. At the risk of this thread being moved to the 'Tank, allow me my opinion.
Given that a chicken is no more than 30cm in size, and given that the chicken's ratio of mass to wingspan will not allow it to become airborne, I seriously doubt the chicken could pull Cov Jr's pants down. Not unless Cov Jr's pants were already down at a height the chicken could reach with its beak. Even then, we would have to factor in the chicken's motivation for doing so. What evolutionary factors would have produced such behaviour in a chicken? None, I say. There is no shred of evidence that a chicken would have the biological urge to pull pants down (nor has it ever been reported, except in the Langley vs. Farmer Uoquin 1965 case).
Say the chicken did pull his pants down. It would have to be at the height of Cov Jr's pants (an estimate places this at around 90cm). But how did it get at this height? If it was placed there that rules out chicken motivation - as it was obviously forced. Therefore, the chicken did not 'derobe' Cov of his pants - someone else did: REMOVAL OF PANTS VIA PROXY. As Judge Curtis (1878) stated:
Chickens cannot be ruled to remove pants via proxy, and all culpability must rest with said party who placed chicken at the height to remove pants.I rest my case.
