The implausible thing is that the first chicken seems to be aware of having asked a question at all, albeit a rhetorical one.
In older times in England, before the invention of “Hello”, the polite way to greet a person was with “How d’you do.” It wasn’t a question. The correct response was to say the same back. No one was expected to actually answer it as a question.
The modern “How are you?” is really an extension of that, but for some reason we miss the fact that it’s a greeting.
