"So what you're saying is: chicken are basically disabled dinosaurs?"

"Nooooooo, not even a little"

Cut back to the main video

"It turns out chicken are basically disabled dinosaurs"

Chickens, and birds in general, are pretty much dinosaurs, specifically, raptors.

Not pretty much. They are dinosaurs. Not raptors, though. I mean, "raptor" is another word for birds of prey, but I assume you mean the prehistoric raptors. Raptors are therapods, though, same as birds.

Allen Pan, just from the description alone.

It's been bugging me for a while, isn't it supposed to be their ?

But, they have tails. And this would not only annoy most chickens, it would throw them off

You didn't watch the video did you?

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

I did, and what I saw was an uncomfortable chicken.

They tend to have a lot of difficulty with things that hold their feathers in a given position. Even things designed for them to have on for extended use can take some time to get used to.
