"Madder than a wet hen" probably originated in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Supposedly, chickens get angry if they get dumped in water, although I have never personally seen a chicken get angry about being wet - and I grew up in the Appalachians with chickens. I can testify that many American southerners do use this phrase to mean someone who is very angry.
a phrase from the American south, you must be really furious to be this. As hems are when they find themselves in water
This isn't an idiom. It's just an old saying that someone is really angry ... chickens hate to get wet, so a wet hen is really mad.
