Why is it ok to tie up a duck or a chicken but it's considered perverted to tie up a hen?

Why is it ok to tie up a duck or a chicken but it's considered perverted to tie up a hen?

But a hen is a chicken, isn't it?

I suspect the answer is going to involve the word 変態　(hentai).

マイケル

As we all know, Noah was supposed to take two of each animal on the ark in preparation for the Flood. After the Flood, Noah's wife was checking his inventory.

"Noah," she said. "Most of this seems in order, but you only have one chicken and one raccoon-dog. What happened?"

"I can explain." Noah replied. "I thought I only needed one chicken, because one chicken is 二羽鳥."

"And what about the raccoon-dog?" she demanded.

Noah shrugged and said, "他ぬき did seem like an odd request."
