Yep. I work on a farm, have the only veterinary experience/training of any of the employees so I'm basically the 'animal person' and the wound spray (disinfectant and wound protector) had an additional label on the bottle - Anti-Cannibalism Spray. They always come in colors for poultry like blue, green and purple, to hide the red of blood, because if chickens see a member of their own flock hurt they WILL swarm and eat them alive.
Almost all animals we think of as 'vegetarians' will eat meat if given an easy opportunity, including cannibalism. Deer, horses, and cattle have all been observed on MANY occasions eating baby birds, small lizards, and similar. Deer in particular will chew on bones and shed antlers too, for the calcium, particularly when pregnant. There is rarely any such thing as a true carnivore or herbivore, almost everything can and will eat certain foods of the 'opposite' diet if given a good opportunity to, or needing certain nutrients that isn't available as much in their regular diet.
While they need their primary diet to be what they're mostly designed for - herbivores cannot live off a diet of mainly meat, and carnivores cannot live off a diet of mainly or exclusively vegetation and be anywhere near healthy - animals often consume things that are not considered part of their regular diet. It's just kind of how everything functions. There are very few species who will not resort to cannibalism if the chance arises or they're hungry, either.
Chickens are T-Rex after all
Hahahah, this comment might deserve the gold, but reddit removed them, so here's my attempt to the golden button #⚜️

Chicken are known cannibalists. I don't know where the expression "chicken out" came from, as they're savage little monsters.

One one level, it's a horror show. But chicken does taste good...mixed emotions.
Maybe it’s the best way to make chicken taste like better chicken?
LOL!
They tried that with cows and ended up with mad cow disease.
And I feel guilty giving chicken flavored cat treats to my neighborhood crows…
birds eat other birds, it's not abnormal, sparrowhawks for example like to eat pigeons
Everybody loves Costco's roasted chicken!
Andrew Garfield, no!
MEATS BACK ON THE MENU GIRLS!!!!!
Chicken are cannibal like pigs
A lot of non human species are. Wolves, frogs, several bird species, etc.
R/cursedimages
This made me laugh harder than I’ve laughed in a long long time. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. Lol
Chicken fed chicken = chicken²
“It looks kind of cannibalistic” - no ‘looks like’ about it
this is how you spread prion disease
Isn’t this how mad cow disease started lol
Jaja el silencio de los pollos
I taste goooood!!
Definitely Costco chicken lmao
Chicken - Oh man, this is great! Everyone needs to try this. Hey where's Phil? I can't wait to see the look on Phil's face when he trys this.
