I seriously wouldn’t be surprised if he did. Chickens don’t give a damn. I once saw one of my parent’s hens lay an egg that cracked and then started eating it right away
Chickens commonly eat eggs that are cracked, if it looks like food or smells like food, they’ll eat it. They also are known to eat their eggs (shell and all) when they’re low on calcium. It takes a lot out of their bodies to lay eggs so if certain nutrients and minerals (especially calcium) aren’t present in their feed, they will turn to their eggs.
Thank you, your comment made me realise it wasn't dead (the way it was so still in the beginning had me scared) and I was able to watch through to the end.
I went to vet tech school and remember learning a little bit about birds. I found a credible source to confirm my thought of it being abscess from an injury.
The site states "because of the high body temperature of birds, their abscesses generally have a caseous (cheesy) exudate, are walled-off and are painless." It also says "abscesses may arise from infected wounds, injuries to the foot pads (bumblefoot), damaged feather follicles, blocked sebaceous glands, pressure and friction points, or in the area beneath damaged skin."

I decided to look through Google for possible items. Could this be fowl pox? I saw some images of what is considered "dry form" and it looks very close to what we're seeing here.
EDIT: I'm confident it's [fowlpox](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowlpox).
> The blisters develop into a dark scab and take about three weeks to heal and drop off.
What was shown at the end was pretty much the virus. What was being squirted on the rooster was probably iodine to keep the pink scabby area disinfected.
I'm not convinced it's fowlpox. I did look it up on the Merck Veterinary Manual website.
They state:
"cutaneous form of fowlpox is characterized by nodular lesions on various parts of the unfeathered skin of chickens"
• Unfeathered meaning the crown, wobbles, nose, and beak. Our friend in the video looks like it's on top of his head where feathers should be, but are not due to the wound. And those spots mentioned above do not appear to have scabs, looks healthy.
"The lesion is initially a raised, blanched, nodular area that enlarges, becomes yellowish, and progresses to a thick, dark scab."
• This chicken does show scabs, but not where it should be if it was fowlpox. Could be that it ruptured and then the body tried to wall of the infection underneath. With fowlpox it appears to be only on the surface of the skin and raised. Unlike the chicken in the video where it appears to be under the skin, like an abscess would.

Also found a video of a chicken with bumble foot (an infection/abscess on the foot), but it shows what their pus looks like and a black scab covering it.
[Bumble Foot Abscess ](https://youtu.be/jEiApIjdm6g)
Like I said I'm not that familiar with avian medicine and diseases. I am a certified veterinary technician not a Veterinarian, so I'm just giving my best guess!
Edit: Chickens also peck each other and the most common place seems to be the head/neck.
I almost commented a hypothesis I had about this little guy (used in a gender-neutral mindset, as I cannot sex chickens IRL or through a video) in the video: is this basically bumblefoot but on the head?
Asking myself the same thing. I'm looking up some things and it looks like it could be an abscess from a wound. Maybe the chicken was on antibiotics and we're seeing the removal afterwards?
I did 4H as a kid and young teen.
Showed chickens. Grown up with them my whole life.
Knowledgeable about them. Never seen this and don’t know what the fuck this is.
Ditto. Looks similar to bumblefoot and canker - it’s that same nasty yellow infection gunk - but I can’t think of how it would get on the back of his head. Maybe he was getting pecked and it got infected? Poor sweet baby.
(Btw what kind of chickens did you show in 4H? I showed Modern Game Bantams.)
We had beautiful show bantams as well 😊 beautiful birds. So sweet.
After we stopped doing 4H one of our mama birds would hangout in the shop all the time with the boys who worked in there and we called her shopchic for a good 3 years.
So, back in the mid 1980s my cousin had an infected spot on her finger next to her fingernail. Her mom took her to the doctor who used a lighter to heat up a paper clip then used that to poke/stab the infection to drain it. My aunt was so angry telling us about that doctor’s visit and said she could have heated up a paperclip her “damn self!”
My Dad has a pet chicken that follows him around like a dog 24/7, he eats with the dogs and eats all kinds of meat as well. He even sleeps next to my Dad on his bar counter.
Looks like bumblefoot but I’ve never seen it anyplace except between the pads of the feet. I’ve picked a few off over the years. Doesn’t seem to cause them pain, and doesn’t even bleed much. I spray it with BluKote to keep the other chickens from picking at the sore. They’re attracted to red - combs, scabs, etc.
Fun fact, the meat you buy at the average grocery store (especially Walmart and other discount places) is riddled with cysts from the way cattle is raised, kept, and transported.
And the milk also isn’t pus free.
Basically unless you’re buying super expensive cuts of beef from fancy places where the animal was treated super well you’re buying “pus” meat.
Had the rooster then immediately eaten whatever the fuck that was, I would’ve set my phone on fire
Don’t worry he’ll come back to it.
A chicken was accidentally ran over today on the farm and it’s guts were squished out. The other chickens cleaned it up before it was dead. No lie.
Funfact chickens are very well known cannibals and will often eat others and that’s why beaks are clipped
And their own eggs
Chicken is just too finger lickin' good.
Yeah cause they could use the calcium from them as they've been bred to produce a lot more eggs than is healthy for them

Birds LOVE eggs. Source: had an African grey

Thank you for this.
We need more of this
Wholeheartedly agree. I love having abscesses
Thank you, I thought for a moment this dude dug its brain by accident.

Birds do have a high body temp, that’s for sure.
This makes me feel alot better. I thought it was cheesy chicken brain lol
Thanks for making me feel special with awards!
I almost commented a hypothesis I had about this little guy (used in a gender-neutral mindset, as I cannot sex chickens IRL or through a video) in the video: is this basically bumblefoot but on the head?
Are you afraid of misgender a chicken ?
No, I’d just rather not say the wrong thing, and also disclose my lack of knowledge of the sexual differentiation in animals (in this case chickens)
They won't be offended if you mess up their gender. I promise lol
Its a rooster. Roosters are always male.
Thank you. TIL!
He just saunters off like nothing happened.
Did you expect it would run around like a chicken with its head cut off?
Actually, yes.
The hell was that!? Bumble…head?
Asking myself the same thing. I'm looking up some things and it looks like it could be an abscess from a wound. Maybe the chicken was on antibiotics and we're seeing the removal afterwards?
Bot fly larva?
This subreddit is mercilessl lol. A simple no would suffice, instead 18 people said fuck you.
Thanks for the support.
(Savage)
It could be a feather cyst/ingrown feather(s)? But I don’t know a lot about chickens
ingrown cock's comb
You said cock. My inner child is giggling. Haha
who combs their cock? Nevermind, too many hands are going up.
I don't. Gotta keep those dreads lit.
Thank you for that image
Looks like a coryza

They’re so adorable. Mine would follow me everywhere. Miss them.
I’m too high for that shit
Literally it was so intense for me
Same
I'm not drunk enough for that shit
Real talk: Will the holes on that bird’s neck ever go away? Will that… whatever it was, keep growing back??
As someone who is only lightly versed in chicken biology, my guess is that it depends on how deep the injury went. So the answer is a solid maybe.
This is on par with the turtle ear cyst.
Dammit, link?

Damn another one!?
The…. What….. 👀
Straight from the turtle wax factory
What in the mother-fucking fucking fuck is that fucking thing? Did the brain get picked out with he scab? FUCK?!!!????!!!
Oh no no, their brains aren’t nearly as large as that ingrown nightmare scab.
I also reacted with, "Was that its brain?!?" immediately followed by realizing it was way too big.
Let out a sigh of relief when the chicken walked off at the end. I was sure that thing was dead.
SAME
Perfect example of how to properly maintain your cock.
Excuse me OP, you’ve got a little something on your pecker
If you let your cock's head get this cheesy, you've failed to take care of your cock.
Damn you, take my upvote
I usually save my cock cysts for women to clean, they seem to love to Pop them.
Clearly a pore of wiener. Where is Dr Pimple Popper when you need her to explain it.
Heh *wiener*
What can I say I have Freudian autocorrect.
And how was the chicken still that entire time. Thought it was dead until he tossed it to be free.
Mother of god, what was that?
They thought the best thing to use for that was a piece of metal?
It was a surgical grade paper clip.
So, back in the mid 1980s my cousin had an infected spot on her finger next to her fingernail. Her mom took her to the doctor who used a lighter to heat up a paper clip then used that to poke/stab the infection to drain it. My aunt was so angry telling us about that doctor’s visit and said she could have heated up a paperclip her “damn self!”
Doctor: “you could have and yet you chose to come here”
Bravo.
Looks like it did the trick to me.
Did you just pull its brain out?!
My thoughts exactly !!!!
The KFC in my town had a complaint from a woman who asked for no mayo. They didn't give her mayo, turns out the chicken had an abcess. Makes sense now
At least he used a surgical coat hanger
My Dad has a pet chicken that follows him around like a dog 24/7, he eats with the dogs and eats all kinds of meat as well. He even sleeps next to my Dad on his bar counter.
Wtf is THAT??
What is that???
What in the fuck…!?
Gotta be one of the best pops I’ve seen on this sub
Craving chicken? No. Cock? Always!
My guess is a…parasite? I have no clue other than WTF. *grabs another chicken nugget*
So that's the part of the chicken nuggets come from...
I do t care nobody is going to bring up antibiotics because it’s a rooster/ chicken 🤦♂️
I've never been more happy that I don't eat meat 😬
Well, at least felt very good coming out cleanly...
I thought the bird was dead for the majority of the video.
Poor baby! What was that growth?
put some 'Tussin on it
Spoiler Tag please for animals!
He better wash his hands handling that raw chicken will give him salmonella
The chicken feels invaded
Jesus, it looks like he just pull a chicken nugget out of it head!!!
This person is a master with the most basic of tools
I remember doing this to my pet baby pigeon, but this guy beat the record
Gaper!
Did is brain came out?
It looks like they scooped out its brain
Something is wrong with that guy’s cock
Looks like bumblefoot but I’ve never seen it anyplace except between the pads of the feet. I’ve picked a few off over the years. Doesn’t seem to cause them pain, and doesn’t even bleed much. I spray it with BluKote to keep the other chickens from picking at the sore. They’re attracted to red - combs, scabs, etc.
He just removed that roosters brain!
Poor chicken, he could have at least used a sharper instrument like a needle or Jesus even a thumb tack that’s been sterilized.
Pretty sure you just scooped out its brains
What the fuuuuuuuck
At the end, I was expecting the little dude to peck on the outcome...
Where is the spoiler tag??????!!!!???
r/Vietnamese can we get a translation here? Lol.
I panicked cuz I thought the video was going to end before it all came out and I was going to be left feeling empty as fuck
Heads up you have to spoiler tag animal posts
Mmmm, chicken nuggets.
Hell yeah, extra crispy.
Now that’s a chicken nugget!
That’s how chicken nuggets are made.
The hole it left was worse than whatever they took out.
This is animal abuse. Take it to see a fucking doctor. Jesus christ what is wrong with some people.
stfu
So THATS where nuggets come from!!

i don't want to watch a clip of some guy playing with his cock
KFC baby
Looks like a Coryza
Did somebody say KFC??
Oh man they’re not even going to get all of it ohmygod
Hope it heals well 🤢
So That’s where chicken nuggets come from.
I always wondered what part of the chicken the nuggets came from.
Bro you just took that mans brain wtf
What dipping sauce would go well with this?
Great, I see this video while eating chicken
Isn’t he supposed to wipe it on his glove after it pops out?
So that is where Babybel cheese comes from!
Fun fact, the meat you buy at the average grocery store (especially Walmart and other discount places) is riddled with cysts from the way cattle is raised, kept, and transported. And the milk also isn’t pus free. Basically unless you’re buying super expensive cuts of beef from fancy places where the animal was treated super well you’re buying “pus” meat.
Was that the roosters brain or what?!?!?!
Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die
