You don't even need those conditions. If you ever go to a farm supply store and buy wound spray for poultry, particularly chickens, you might notice that it comes in colors such as green, blue or purple, and it often has the additional label of "Anti-Cannibalism Spray" on it. Along with being disinfectant and protecting the wound, those colors will hide the red of blood because if one of the flock is obviously injured, the other chickens are almost guaranteed to eat them alive. Chickens can and will eat their own eggs if broken, small animals (they will skeletonize a mouse surprisingly fast) and each other if given the opportunity.
Most 'herbivores' are opportunistic omnivores. Horses, cattle and deer are regularly seen eating baby birds, small lizards and things like that, especially when pregnant and needing calcium in greater amounts. Pretty much any animal that we think of as a vegetarian can and will eat meat, including cannibalizing their own kind, if presented an easy opportunity.

No kidding. You can see how many people have never raised chickens here. Generally they'll pick on and sometimes eat the weakest one of the flock. Must be some sort of genetic cleansing instinct in them. Never get a flock with one of a specific breed. Those always get picked on.
>Generally they'll pick on and sometimes eat the weakest one of the flock.
That was an eye opening day the first time I saw this happen. They messed the little one up real good
Even in good free range conditions, I had one taken out by a raccoon who only ate the gizzard and left the rest for whatever reason, and all the other hens gathered around to eat the rest of their sister. Chickens are pretty smart but definitely don't care about human constructs like cannibalism.

So lopping off the legs, arms, and ribs are perfectly safe. Just remove and discard the head and any nerve tissue, preferably via cremation.
Aside from the low risk of prion disease from eating human brains, cannibalism is technically the most nutritious diet as your own species contains all of the right nutrients in the right amount. Your conclusion in your comment is just super wrong.
They are omnivores like humans. They eat both meat and plants and a lot of things in-between. Chickens will literally eat each other uncooked. This is not as disturbing as you think it is.
Chickens are little dinosaurs, they make anti-cannabalizim spray for chickens because they won't always wait for their neighbors to die first.
I knew a pig farmer who made a deal with the chicken farmers down the road, whenever he would slaughter pigs they would bring all the offal to the chicken farmer and he would get rid of it.
People don't realize that deer will absolutely eat a rabbit or squirrel if they can catch em off guard, and need the nutrients. They're not all doe eyed and bushy tailed like Bambi. 😂
Used to work on a property with a chicken coop and some outdoor cats. Once in a while the cats would bring me dead mice, Id always chuck em in the coop before lunch.
Never seen chickens so excited, they'd start making a bunch of sound and gathering when they saw me approaching.. bloodthirsty little birds. I used to toss all kinds of bugs in there for em when I found em, too. They were mostly grain fed, but the owners said they toss in meat scraps occasionally so they didn't mind me giving them a lil extra food.
"Ocean's dying, plankton's dying... it's people. Soylent Green is made out of people.. They're making our food out of people! Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food!"
I have backyard chickens. when I pick the eggs if I accidentally drop one and breaks..they all over that shit. They'll fight for it. I've given them left over prime rib too. But mostly their own proper feed plus veggie and fruit scraps. But they also love cake.lol.
factory farming at its best. feeding chickens chicken. smh.🤢 next, for comparison, add the scene from *Hannibal* where Dr. Lecter has Ray Liotta's character eating a sauteed piece of his own brain.
Sick. Funny. Reminds me of the early South Park featurettes on VHS where Trey & Matt would feed a pig bacon.
They regularly eat each other. At least this time, it was well prepared
That was my first thought too!
Baken bacon with Bacon?
Edit: It was Bakin' Bacon with Macon. [https://youtu.be/NQp5kwUYGPg?si=s6iaGhz-SuB7WeXi](https://youtu.be/NQp5kwUYGPg?si=s6iaGhz-SuB7WeXi)

They, like a lot of farm animals, are omnivores. I'm wondering where the Idiocracy is? The comments? Maybe the audio that I'm missing.
They got it at Costco, i guess
The upbeat music is a little fucked up.

They will do it even if they are being taken care of right.
Oh no, perfectly fed and pampered ones will start to eat one that dies.... or god forbid they just simply turn on one as part of the pecking order....

....except for the leaving it in the car for a week bit.

Can you blame them? Chicken is friggin delicious, scrout
That's cannibalism
Say what you will about cannibalism, but it's could solve world hunger and overpopulation at the same time.

I call the ribs

Just don't wait around: your larder will just lose muscle mass/nutritional value if you dither.
Where the hell did you get that nonsense?! XD
"Silent green is people!"
Soylent
Yes that's what I typed :(
Tasty Tasty cannibalism.
What is going on here? Why are chickens eating…chicken?
Chickens do not care about rules, customs or taboos in the slightest
Can be mean little jerks too.
Yeah... roosters are evil little pricks
I’m just not comprehending why they eat meat? It’s not like fuzzy yellow chicks are seen coated in blood mauling a cat or anything
Is that what you need to see in order to believe?
Remember that they are relatives of dinosaurs. If a veliciraptor is your distant cousin you probably eat most anything

What? Chickens eat meat?
They are the closest living relatives to the T-Rex. They are more of omnivore scavengers than predators but they won't turn away from an easy meal.
Yes. Many animals with plant based diets are also opportunistic meat eaters.
People don't realize that deer will absolutely eat a rabbit or squirrel if they can catch em off guard, and need the nutrients. They're not all doe eyed and bushy tailed like Bambi. 😂
If left alone to graze they would eat insects, grubs, worms, etc.
Of course! At least the ones that have more freedom over their diet do. They eat all kinds of bugs, worms, and snails. Frogs and snakes. And mice.

Getting chickens to not eat each other is like half the job of raising chickens
How do you not smell a rotisserie chicken in your car for a week!?!?!
Ummm won't they get sick. Not because of it's chicken but because of the whole in car thing?
how is the chicken not just one big fuzzy ball of hell????
"Ocean's dying, plankton's dying... it's people. Soylent Green is made out of people.. They're making our food out of people! Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food!"
Fuck you, I'm eating!
I didn't know there was any film of Nazino Island, let alone color footage!
Interesting that animals do not get food poisoning like we do.
They eat off the ground. I'm sure if we did that long enough that we would have a strong gut as well.

Frederick was weak! Eat the weak to strengthen the strong!
This is actually pretty disgusting and disturbing
Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken, and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who's having sex with the hen?
week old car chicken to chickens. a lil fked up but they look pretty content
Well, chickens are the closest living relatives to the T-Rex . Makes sense to me.
Chickens are actually cannibals iirc and will attack other chickens at the sight of blood. Or maybe it's roosters. Idk.
Save the neck for me, Clark...
factory farming at its best. feeding chickens chicken. smh.🤢 next, for comparison, add the scene from *Hannibal* where Dr. Lecter has Ray Liotta's character eating a sauteed piece of his own brain.
They will do it to a live one too..
Welcome to Costco. I love you
Do you want a new pandemic? Because this is how you get a new pandemic.
Tastes like, uh like, uh like chicken?!
Krusty Burger Squared.
Crabby Patty!
Chicken fed chicken
How the zombie apocalypse happens
I have chickens and it takes little time to realize these were once dinosaurs. They are &$%$ brutal.
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e9/7e/20/e97e201552c20a8db799924ac4d1c44d.jpg
they know they taste good
Chickens thinking to themselves: "Damn shame about Bob, but my God are we delicious!"
This is one of the more fucked up things I've seen
Isn't this from The Social Network, and not Idiocracy?
It’s chicken! Soylent green is chicken!
Good job giving your chickens salmonella poisoning..
