I came up with some Austrian answers to Chicken Philosophy.

Here's what I have now.

Mises: "Every conscience act a chicken makes is to remove uneasiness due to it's own subjective values. The chicken makes an action towards it's own satisfaction. Through the scope of praxeology we see these actions"

Menger: "The chicken receives a greater marginal utility by crossing and/or being on the other side of the road, or possibly the current utility of the current side of the road is less than the other side, so the chicken decides to cross. Yet, these factors are subjective to the individual chicken"

Rothbard: "What's on the other side of the road can be achieved more efficiently through free chickens and the market than through the State"

I had always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way. - Carl Jung, Man and His Symbols
