lurking chicken

A prank where one lurks in a place where they will soon be found, flapping their arms like chicken while leaning forward with an intent gaze; often for the purpose of startling someone.

I walked into my bedroom, and Derek was behind the door doing the lurking chicken; it nearly gave me a heart attack.
