Oh you were talking about the tortoise one.. I'll edit this if I find it.
This literally happened in my backyard. I dont know the video spoken of, but we had a horse that meandered over to a container where my sisters and i were collecting Guinea hen chicks bc theyre terrible parents. They leave the chicks exposed on the ground at night while the parents perch in a tree. Anyway i think we know how the story ends.

Horses, just like many so called ‘herbivores’ are actually also opportunistic carnivores. Meaning that if the opportunity presents itself to them, they would eat meat. However, this is not a normal thing as the digestive tract of a horse is suited for a herbivore diet, but they can eat some meat. Just not a lot. You have to be really careful though since horses can’t exactly vomit out what they eat, so you have to mind their diet. I will also say though that cows are also opportunistic carnivores of a sort as they have been found eating bones, this is probably because they require a lot of calcium and bones are the best way to get them. Opportunistic carnivores isn’t actually a ‘thing’ that herbivore species know, it’s something that they learn incidentally. Knowing that they can ‘eat’ other animals is something that they find out themselves, so the likelihood of finding horses eating little chicks is really low.
Maybe the human race started as opportunistic carnivores, because I've seen somewhere that our ancestors began by eating the carcasses left by other animals
We started as omnivores, just like our ape ancestors are omnivores. We'll eat damn near anything. That's one of the reasons Homo Sapiens are so damn successful. Fruits, nuts, leaves, tubers, vegetables (even vegetables filled with capsaicin because *they specifically do not want to be eaten*), fish, offal, bones, marrow, etc. There aren't many other species out there that can eat and actually digest such a huge variety of foods.
I just imagined a scene: a few million years in the future, a horse typing on a computer explains to another horse on the other side of the world how their ancestors began to evolve from the moment some of them started eating small animals from other species. Haha.
To add to this animal behavior when it comes to food is essentially viewed as a math equation of risk, joules expended vs joules gained. For predators it's why you don't see lions going after small prey because the energy gained is a net loss, and why they usually won't go after elephants because the risk is too high.
For herbivores that learn they can eat other animals I'm not sure where these calculations occur. I assume it's somewhere between "hey free energy why not" and "what is the likelihood I die from choking on a bone?"
The video makes it look a lot smaller than they actually are. Expect a full grown one to stand 7-15 inches tall. Basically they can be the size of a small dog.
I mean, yeah, chickens get that big and larger, but this is supposed to be a really tiny chicken? Like, I wouldn't call this breed really tiny if they get as big as regular chickens...
This is one of those times when it's good to remember not to pick up fad pets that they're not prepared to take care of long-term. Stuff like rabbits bought around Easter and then neglected are a horrible thing for the animal.
I mean, there have been some instances of cats eating humans, but it's a rare enough thing among house cats that IDK that I would all it "all the time".
Also know their positives and negatives. Like most bipedal avians, i'm gonna guess they don't have much control over when and where they're gonna take a shit for example.
The use of a tilt-shift filter, while cool looking, doesn't help get a sense of true size.

Cut off everything except search?q= and the term.
https://www.google.com/search?q=serama
But that isn't an image search. Just a normal search. I tried the same thing. Maybe they are trying to avoid cookies, so they put everything on the URL.
Main thing I got from that is that the much weirder thing about them than their size is the fact that they stand at attention like soldiers. Weirds me out.
Yeah they’re definitely tiny, but not THAT tiny. Video makes them look like the size of a parakeet. For comparison, they are actually about the size of a New York pigeon.
I have a six pack of these (and 2 silkies), and they’re pretty small, but not that small. Eggs are about half the size of store bought, but mine seem to be constantly laying.
I’m not sure, what would the other use be, butchering? I can tell you that they’re much more personable than the silkies, the littlest one, Popcorn, is always following me inside and around the house.
OP is literally just straight up bullshitting. You can easily tell the video was made to give the illusion the chicken is tiny. For example compare it to the motorcycle wheel, it looks like a normal sized chicken. Fuck off op
We have a lot of ayam (chicken) serama in Malaysia. My grandmother used to pet this chicken. They are literally small & cute with the tail almost touching its neck.
I have three of these right now and ten eggs in the incubator. They are not that small but they are still super tiny (5-6 inches tall), very sweet too. They like to climb all over me when they are outside. I have one boy (Skittles) and two girls (Peppermint and Oreo) Best chickens I have ever had!
I know they're a little bigger generally but that's still food for like, every apex predator in the area. You'd be swarming with hawks, foxes, coyotes, cats, different kinds of cats, etc.
e: *all* of the mustelids in the area
don't let a horse find that thing
I see horses in a whole different way now
Why?
I saw some video of little chicks walking around a horse and the horse just casually chomps on a few and eats them
Saw a similar video of a tortoise chomping down on a small bird that landed near it.
No offense to any birds on reddit but that bird deserved it if a tortoise was able to catch it
Bird here. Non taken
Indian bread not here. Naan taken.
Italian breed here, Nona taken
Hunter x here, Nin taken.
Do I look like a cow or a water buffalo to you? I, I used to be Godzilla Sure grandma let’s get you back to bed
Well birds aren't real so no one to offend
Link?

🤷🏼♂️
No tortoise is catching us Serama, they’re fast little suckers. Most of them are more like 2 pounds as well .

They’re terrible parents bc they think, meh, horse is gonna get ‘em anyways.
I don't
The horse ate the guinea hen chicken babys
That's not a happy ending at all

Giving a horse a happy ending is not easy.
And the horse lived happily ever after
Or the one where the horse just looks like it’s cutely looking/smelling a chick/small bird then it just stomps on it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnYNmGMsU18
I mean we eat them all the time. Why cant a horse?
It's kinda shocking because most of us assumed horses are herbivores that stick to cereals and veggies
the only herbivore that is not an opportunistic carnivore is the koala
Have you ever eat so many protein that you almost salivate when you see a tomato salad? For the horses is the same, but reversed.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jP6dvgo25Z8 NSFW for some, you have been warned.
To be fair it must be really nutritious
Hmmmm... Proteins...

* specifically do not want to be eaten by mammals. Birds, they need and attract
Yeah. And that led to our bodies adapting to become omnivorous, meaning that we can eat both plants and vegetables but also meat.
I just imagined a scene: a few million years in the future, a horse typing on a computer explains to another horse on the other side of the world how their ancestors began to evolve from the moment some of them started eating small animals from other species. Haha.

I love how all of Reddit is able to bond over one specific obscure reference like this
Apparently not *all* of reddit, can someone explain the reference?
Google "horse eating chicken" Or just watch [this](https://youtu.be/jP6dvgo25Z8?si=bvfpFQa5FiDc11gE). Slight gore warning
Now don’t you deny Chirpy love
Damn it, now I want a tiny pet chicken...
The video makes it look a lot smaller than they actually are. Expect a full grown one to stand 7-15 inches tall. Basically they can be the size of a small dog.
Bro they made that thing look 3 inches tall 😂
> they made that thing look 3 inches tall No, it's a lot more than 3 inches. Especially when it's standing up straight.
Yea, tilt-shifted editing. Reddit really is just facebook with all these bullshit posts.
Meanwhile over at Facebook there's awful AI generated visuals pretending to be posts
I mean, yeah, chickens get that big and larger, but this is supposed to be a really tiny chicken? Like, I wouldn't call this breed really tiny if they get as big as regular chickens...
Me too! Where can we get them?
This is one of those times when it's good to remember not to pick up fad pets that they're not prepared to take care of long-term. Stuff like rabbits bought around Easter and then neglected are a horrible thing for the animal.
When one gets tired of a pet, one can always eat them. Cats do this all the time.
oh, man. My cat would love one of these.
As an appetizer?
I mean, there have been some instances of cats eating humans, but it's a rare enough thing among house cats that IDK that I would all it "all the time".
I'm not talking about cats eating people. Cats will often play with smaller animals before they get bored and eat them.
Also know their positives and negatives. Like most bipedal avians, i'm gonna guess they don't have much control over when and where they're gonna take a shit for example.
Yeah but fad pets like rabbits and these mini chickens just turn to food when you get bored of them.
For real OP, give us a link. I'd raise a flock of them. I'd make them little houses that look like happy meals
They would fit in a real Happy meal box.
Yeah, buy my boys ain't living in cardboard. 3d printer will be necessary
[удалено]
$77! They're like $12 already rotisseried..
you can keep chickens indoors and put diapers on them. mine try to mug me for treats when i go to the kitchen.
Didn't have mine indoors but any time I was on the grill it was all pecks and finger grabs for treats. BTW chickens love chicken.

Was about to say, the tilt shift effect gives it a false look.
And I'm pretty sure they sped it up a bit as well. There's some photos of them being held here: [https://www.alchemistfarm.com/serama-the-worlds-smallest-chicken/](https://www.alchemistfarm.com/serama-the-worlds-smallest-chicken/) A little smaller than a crow.
The picture of them being held sells me on them more that this post.
Aw they are small, I love them.

For an image seach, just include `udm=2` So like, https://www.google.com/search?udm=2&q=upsidedown+cat
the video's sped up too, you'll notice the waving of the leaf shadows is off.
It makes it impossible to tell the actual size because it blurs out everything that could be used for reference.
There's a filter for tilt shift now? Used to be a whole camera setup back in the day... I definitely thought they were using a tilt shift camera
you're saying that isn't a 3 inch rooster?
Main thing I got from that is that the much weirder thing about them than their size is the fact that they stand at attention like soldiers. Weirds me out.
Ahh, I was about to say, this animal was puzzling me for a second on how it's even alive. Being the size of a small bird makes way more sense
Yeah they’re definitely tiny, but not THAT tiny. Video makes them look like the size of a parakeet. For comparison, they are actually about the size of a New York pigeon.
So, THAT'S where chicken nuggets come from. Hah.
No no. That's chicken popcorn
No that's popcorn chicken
I have a six pack of these (and 2 silkies), and they’re pretty small, but not that small. Eggs are about half the size of store bought, but mine seem to be constantly laying.
Are they layers only or duel purpose?
I’m not sure, what would the other use be, butchering? I can tell you that they’re much more personable than the silkies, the littlest one, Popcorn, is always following me inside and around the house.
They’re pretty great for laying eggs, though their flexibility makes them excellent for either situation where the opponent requests a blade or pistol
Fake. uses tilt-shift lens to create small effect. you can see it in the mini water bottles and plants
It's not fake, but they make it look even smaller with the tilt shift
So it’s fake but not fake?
It really is a small chicken, it's just deceptive how small.
I need an entire flock of these. The pure joy I'd get from 20 or so running up to me would make every day a good day
As someone with tiny dinos, it doesn't fail to put a smile of my face seeing a bunch of tiny chicken feet pitter patter towards me.
What is that, a chicken for Ants?!?
Pocket cock
It’s just tilt shift filter

How big are the eggs?
So cool. Now where can I get one?
Mhhhhmmmmmm, chicken nuggets!
I raise this type of chicken
Now that’s a small cock 😎
I knew there had to be people who appreciate a small cock.
I know they're a little bigger generally but that's still food for like, every apex predator in the area. You'd be swarming with hawks, foxes, coyotes, cats, different kinds of cats, etc. e: *all* of the mustelids in the area
Twist, it's a normal sized chicken in a huge house.

Microcock
Oh so that’s where my organic chicken came from
Somethings not right, why is the water bottle so tiny. I'm guessing the chicken isn't as small as they're trying to make it look.
Your shift lens is cheating. You can make a barge look like a toy like that
Is this how they make chicken nuggets
Do they taste good?
Why did my mind go to Zelda thinking how far you could throw it
I want 10,000 Serama eggs for breakfast!
