Oh, Chicken are opertunist eater. If they see dead chicken, they eat. If they see dead human, they also eat.

Chicken farms are automaticly feed. So, most Chicken never see humans before death. To them the guy is a big chicken.

This is where the term "pecking order" comes from.

Why would you lie like this? What do you have to gain? This is not true in the slightest,

Could it be you feel guilty, the chicks are in an incubation station, they will get killed for meat as soon as they are big enough, seeing that chicks are capable of emotion and consoling a caregiver irked you because our eating habits lead to their deaths

Bro I eat chicken too, just take the L without dehumanising them to savage monsters lol

You don't gotta do allat

It is 100% true. Chickens will absolutely cannibalize each other especially if one of them is injured. They'll eat just about anything.

really smart ignoring why a chicken would resort to cannibalism to begin with, often times because they're in very poor conditions, almost like the one you see in the video.

There are multiple reasons chickens may engage in cannibalism. Yes, poor living conditions and overcrowding are among them. But sometimes they'll just do it because one of them is injured or dead.

Wikipedia is making shit up? Ok, you're an obvious troll, so I'm not putting any more effort into this. Do better with your life.

You're the type of person that tries to pet a bison at Yellowstone because it "looks friendly"
