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.
