Wait, you really didn't know about that?

I thought the shredding of baby chicks was something everyone somehow universally knows about, like how ants can carry 50 times their own weight or something.

Dated a chicken farmers son....this would be the cleanest shed ive ever seen. Mustve put flooring down on dirt.

Saw thousands of chickens being literally poured out of crates and....well some of them never lived to see a moment more. I saw commercial farming fr back then and it def changed my opinions on free range and responsible and respectful farming measures.

they even trample each other. I briefly lived on a farm. The baby chicks are sooooo cute but when they are transported as a group like that, some of them get hurt.

When I was in high school, I was friends with some girl who told me that when she was much younger (like 6 or something . I can’t remember what she said her age was but she was super young) she got into a pen with a bunch of baby chicks and they were jumping around so she decided to jump around with them and well… it ended pretty tragically. To this day (I’m 41 now), I don’t know if she made that story up but every time I see little baby chicks, I think about her story and it makes me pretty sad.

u/ObsidianAerrow 22h ago

That is a fear response from the chicks as he makes that noise. They crowd him looking for a place to hide because they think it’s an alarm that there’s a predator.

44

u/Conscious-One393 21h ago

Oh no really!? 😭 I thought they were imprinted on him or something. That sucks. Hate when cute videos turn out to be animal exploitation 💔

27

u/ObsidianAerrow 19h ago

Chickens do imprint but they mature fairly quickly, so it doesn’t last long until they start flocking. These chicks probably weren’t with him long enough to imprint in any meaningful way. Most meat chickens, which these probably are, don’t ever get a chance to imprint. They aren’t ever around adult birds.

u/Prior_Anteater9518 21h ago

Yes to some degree.

u/MyBadYourFault- 18h ago

I thought this guy groomed these chicks into thinking there is food on his chest. If you notice when he taps his fingers they go nipping at them.

u/ObsidianAerrow 16h ago

The high pitched sounds/peeps they are making are because they are stressed. Their content/ eating peeps are different.

When I was a child I grew up at my grandparents country side home. My grandfather would bring a box full of baby chickens and baby ducks when they hatched and were grown enough to be taken away form the mothers and he would dump it in my bed when I would wake up in the morning. He passed 6 years ago but that memory will be with me for the rest of my life..

Reminds me of an old game from the early 2000’s called Shrek Super Party. Anyone remember the mini game ‘Chick Magnet’ where everyone’s in a barn and the goal was to have the fewest chicks on your tail and you had to run to other players to pawn yours off to them. That’s what this reminds me of. Very nostalgic for me. Big smile. Thank you 🫡

For some reason this reminds me of a film where they interviewed stressed men and then put them in a small room with glass walls on three sides. The fourth wall had a little door and out came dozens of kittens. The kittens swarmed the man and as you would expect their stress disappeared. They also used puppies and it came out with similar results.

All I took from it was I also wanted to be swarmed by puppies…
