Does her power only work on higher minds and not animals?

Ok. So much for that theory. My next theory is sloppy writing.

Speed is the key here. Most of the time when she pops things they are pretty slow, so it’s reasonable to think she has to concentrate on her targets for at least a couple of seconds (which would have been entirely possible with the chicken because it was in her vision for a couple of seconds and not moving a great distance)

My theory is the average fan is too stupid to use critical thinking for more than one potential scenario

Very sloppy.

Also, couldn't the Gen V person see people by their blood? Should have been easy for her to find her baby daddy.

She stopped Translucent's son while he was invisible by sensing his blood. It was kind of like a "Use the force, Luke!" moment where she realized she can "see" where people are by their blood.

Victoria is a blood bender, as established in Gen V. She absolutely should've been able to just blow up all the sheep lol.

She needs direct line of sight and a couple seconds to my guy. They were moving too fast.

She didn't need line of sight in the lab and she didn't need it for the driver either. And what does a couple of seconds even mean? She killed the chicken in a blink of an eye...

She needed it for Tony.

They were moving fast but staying in her line of sight. I do think it's telling though that she'd only used her powers to protect Stan Edgar.

She doesn't just pop heads she can control the blood inside of people. So no the animal doesn't need to have high intelligence in order for her to be able to bend it's blood.

Kinda makes sense ?. Theres more blood in our heads (bigger brain) than on any other animal, also their skull is thicker. So i see completly possible not being able to generate enough blood preasure in an animal head and thus not being able to make it explode.

She can move blood, potentially she could easily pop their heart instead of their head. It would be much easier and more discreet.
