That mad as a hatter one came about because hatters used and ingested mercury when making felt.
These days we should say mad as a Japanese dolphin fisher. Same reason

Lift doesn't go to the top floor.
Playing without a full deck of cards. I wouldn't pee on them even if they were on fire.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Talking nineteen to the dozen.
About as many brains as a hen could hold in its shut fist. Never in a month of Saturdays/Sundays. As slow as a wet week.

Fresh as a daisy. Put the wood in the hole (close the door)

As far as I know it's "half pai", meaning half of "ka pai', meaning good in te reo. I still say it from time to time when someone has botched a job or not made enough effort to get something right.

As mad as a wet hen.

Running around like a chook with its head cut off
Running around like a mad woman's fart (i.e. totally disorganised)

A pound to a penny.
Don't get up in the air. Don't get your back up. As quick as a rat up a drainpipe. About as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Your beard makes you look like a rat up a drainpipe.
Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. Going at it hell for leather. Running around like a chook with its head cut off. Dragged from pillar to post. Ants in their pants.
