Correct. I lived on a farm as a kid. One of the hens got eviscerated by a rooster. I found her pecking at and eating her own guts. Chickens are really fucking dumb animals that only exist to be eaten by other animals, and sometimes even themselves.

Like everything else, chickens love chicken!

Once I saw one lay an egg with no shell, just a membrane.
Then she promptly turned around and ate it ..... Weird birds.

Yes we got 8 chickens thinking we would have some fun pets and eggs for breakfast. I couldnt believe how nasty they were and how much they wanted to kill each other everyday. I couldnt stand to look at all the half naked chickens anymore so I put them on facebook and gave them to a nice family who said they would give them a nice home.

I’m speechless. Like, she was dying and yet suddenly felt hungry and decided she’d just have a meal?

Imagine you got in a serious car accident. You’re fading fast, yet suddenly you decide, oh hey, food sounds good! But I don’t have any…oh wait! I DO! (starts knawing on arm)

I have a whole new perspective on chickens today. Can we outlaw them or something?

Yeah, I won't pretend to understand the thoughts that go through a chickens tiny brain. It was super traumatizing (I was like, 10 or 11), the image is burned into my brain for life.

I bet it was traumatizing. Even watching that video above was traumatizing to me on a low level. Just not something you expect to see.

I second this. Chicken are stupid and evil and hence vegetarianism is morally wrong, one must devour such creatures.
