I'm still skimming through the article on my mobile, so I haven't read it all, but I think "the problem of induction" by Hume is the core of the dilemma.

Russel on the problem: The farmers' chicks get fed every day since birth. They infer that since tomorrow is a new day, food will be brought tomorrow. And that reasoning is indeed true: every time they wake up there's soy beans... Until one day the farmer wrings their necks.

What else is the chicken supposed to do?

The chicken develops a theory where "new day => new food" is a law, even though the reality is more nuanced. No matter the # of observations of the feeding event, there isn't enough information to make a law about its causality.

I have no idea what the chicken should do however :) Escape the farm and hope that Kate Middleton saves her?

This is why I think philosophers should stay in their own little world for the most part. There is nothing else the chicken can do, unless it observes it's buddies disappearing, but that contradicts the rules of the game.
