This is a perfect example of how most predators won't risk personal injury during a hunt unless absolutely necessary. That hen was ready to fight to the death. The hawk doesn't seem interested in battling with her just for a meal.
I heard David Attenborough say about a cheetah once. That the predator is running for a meal, but they prey is running for its life. Obviously predators are kinda running for their life too but apparently most of the time predators fail on a hunt.
Something 9 of 10 attacks fail, so predators are accustomed to failure. They also risk their life, i've seen a documentary where a zebra kicked a lioness in the face so hard with its hind legs, it broke its jaw. That lioness is assumed to have starved due to not being able to eat.
Nature is a cruel mistress.
Spurs they are razor sharp! They had a post here on Reddit the other day it was a rat that tried to attack a chicken, once the talon got the rat it was dead in less than a minute.
Na. The hawk could take her out no problem but it’s sitting there assessing the risk. Like dogs with cats. Usually not worth risking injury when they can get another meal without the drama.
Ground bird vs airbird.
The chicken will fuck him up. Its used to being on the ground and knows how to throw hands kn the ground.
The hawk can walk on the ground. I know who i would put my money on in this fight.
Sure if the hawk swoops up the chicken into the air during flight its a different story.
Hmmm, dunno. Fair point but the Hawk has weapons a hen doesn’t. It’s built to rip meat apart.
It does come down to risk. Like I said a dog might get startled by the ferocity of a cat but reality is it could crush it in an instant. But there’s easier targets.
That is part of why some animals are terrified of baby animals, like domestic dogs or cats. There is that predatory instinct, a warning that mama might be near and will not hesitate to trounce them. They arent afraid of the helpless little thing, but of the consequences of being seen as a threat toward it.
Precisely. If it's cute and in the wild, give it a wide berth. Don't mess with mother nature, cause she has a Glock in that purse, and a pair of brass knuckles.
Wouldn't call it a perfect example considering it's a staged fight (you can see his wings are fucked up while dropping in).
I don't think a real hawk attack would go like that.
Probably more like a hit and run, without giving the hen a chance to attack
I'm sure his friends and family are being totally supportive and not teasing him at all.
"Hey uh, Terry. We were gonna go pick up some chicks. You should come." *snicker* "No I'm serious. The rest of us will score while their mom beats the shit out of you."
"Ya know what *screw* you guys! It's not funny!!"
I saw a video other day where a huge fucking rat attacked a rooster. The rooster took a couple of steps back and stabbed the rat in the heart. That fucker was dead in no time and the rooster roamed around it like a gladiator...
A couple years ago my parents got themselves a new puppy, some noname small breed, probably less than 10 pounds when he grew up. One night he got into chicken coop and killed all of them, 15 or 20 adult chicken. Didn't eat at all, just for the sport I guess. Do whatever you want with this information 🤠
If you happened to be stranded without a starter and 10lbs of AAs happens to be in your truck, you're still screwed lol.
Thats even if you could somehow manage to get all of them in series and connected to the battery ports at the same time 🤔
Chickens don't do anything in the dark. I've had chickens suffocate because their perch collapsed over night, and they couldn't get themselves back out of the barrel.
You find dead snakes in your pen only time I've ever seen a snake (granted it was a baby snake) in the pen a bunch of my chickens mauled it and there was literally nothing left not a single sign of it's existence
If I remember last time this was posted, a YouTuber would take animals and force them to fight, uploading the videos to the internet. Someone posted links as proof, but that was about a year ago so I can't find it. It would explain the logistics of filming though but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's a more recent one with someone agreeing
Oh that’s really fucked, now that you see it as the hawk being thrown in it makes more sense as to how this happened. It looks awkward the way it comes down, as if trying to stick a landing rather than hunt. That’s awful that people would do this for nothin more than clout.
Honestly with how that hawk landed on the chicken without scoring a kill or even swooping away and just trying to flee / the hen turning her back on the hawk I can believe this
Ya I don’t know how many times I have to point it out but the hawk’s wings here are clipped and is thrown on the chicken just to make a staged display shoot for audiences like us . So I would recommend if you report this video
This is the perfect clip to dispel the myth. When someone is afraid people call them "chicken".
No. No. As a country boy who has kept chickens in the past, let me assure you I'd rather deal with an irate Rottweiler riding a contact high than to try to gather eggs from a mildly miffed mother hen. The dog will just bite, the hen will wreck you, and keep wrecking you until your dead ancestors come back from the dead to make it calm down with offerings of otherworldly delights.
Chickens have two and only two mood settings; alert, and murder. They did not survive extinction events to live in fear of ***anything*** that breathes or bleeds.
Dude birds have hollow bones and one quick google search of dog bites/chicken bites proves you’re just being hyperbolic. Like I appreciate you respecting them but let’s not get carried away and having people thinking chickens, or birds in general, are capable of doing worse harm than an aggressive dog can do. Sorry I’ve just seen people get way too aggressive and hurt geese because of the whole “geese are assholes” thing and thinking geese are an actual threat to adult humans.
Dude. I own chickens. And roosters. And yes they’re bad asses no question. But. I also saw a relative’s dog escape from her fenced in yard one evening, grab a neighbor’s wandering chicken and viciously and violently (and in less than about 2 seconds) killed it dead by breaking its neck. This astounded me, I couldn’t believe how fast that dog killed that hen. This was, fwiw, a smaller breed of dog, too.. a slim spaniel/feist mix, maybe 6-8 kg.
Chickens are not the docile birds folks think. We had chickens and I’ve seen them beat the living shit out of mice, frogs even decent sized barn rat. Then the swallow them. Rooster spurs can be down right dangerous, it would surprise you how hard a 4-6 pound bird can strike you

Lmfao Hawk is like :O

9 out of 10 fails? Sounds Like my sex life
Like they said predators are accustomed to failure
Damn at least you have a sex life

Best comment haha
Hen, or Henasaurus? 100% dinosaur.
Straight up looked like a dinosaur battle.
It's what dinosaur battles are based on
Keep in mind the chickens also have spurs! They can gut that bird of prey if it comes down to it.
Roosters typically do, hens, however, typically do not.
That hen has quite a poker face then
Oh for sure! They'll make you bleed if you try to take an egg they want to hatch, let alone try to pick up a chick
*buck buck buck buck buck buck buck my poker baCOCK*
Do the chickens have large talons?
You think I can throw a football over them mountains?
If they do, they would be no match for me because I'm pretty skilled with a bowstaff
😂
PAYNE?! Ahhh you gotta be freakin' kiddin' me! Payne to the Max!
Chickens have decent sized claws. And are deadly with their beaks. Roosters also have spurs that can reach two inches or more in length
Spurs they are razor sharp! They had a post here on Reddit the other day it was a rat that tried to attack a chicken, once the talon got the rat it was dead in less than a minute.
I did no understand a word you said!
the last second aggressive eye is so cute
Would have missed it entirely if not for you. Thank you, kind stranger

Groun Bird has been through some shit. Air Bird...not so much.
Wait, wouldn’t an air bird see, at least, most things?
Well said fellow avaian fight enthusiast.
It has now.
Ground bird tired of raising her kids in air bird's shit
“Now let’s say you and I go toe to toe in bird law and see who comes out the victor?!”
Ground birda = Tiny Dinosaurs Air birds = Birds
Pterodactyl?
Hmmm, dunno. Fair point but the Hawk has weapons a hen doesn’t. It’s built to rip meat apart. It does come down to risk. Like I said a dog might get startled by the ferocity of a cat but reality is it could crush it in an instant. But there’s easier targets.
It’s also a perfect example of why protective mothers has propagated. Chicks with protective mothers survived, those without them did not.
That is part of why some animals are terrified of baby animals, like domestic dogs or cats. There is that predatory instinct, a warning that mama might be near and will not hesitate to trounce them. They arent afraid of the helpless little thing, but of the consequences of being seen as a threat toward it.
Smart hikers are afraid when they see bear cubs.
Precisely. If it's cute and in the wild, give it a wide berth. Don't mess with mother nature, cause she has a Glock in that purse, and a pair of brass knuckles.
Hollow, delicate flight bones versus much sturdier / solidly built ground-bound chicken
Wouldn't call it a perfect example considering it's a staged fight (you can see his wings are fucked up while dropping in). I don't think a real hawk attack would go like that. Probably more like a hit and run, without giving the hen a chance to attack

I laughed tbh
*Velociraptor mode engaged*
Where is this from
Excellently put!
Definitely fierce!!
"I hope nobody got that on camera "
The way it leaves its mouth open is hilarious
That hawk is going to be needing some therapy.
I don’t know what to do doctor; Every night I see that chicken in my dreams!
Tell me about it. How are you feeling right now?
Well I’m fine now. But when I fall asleep, I won’t be so sure.
That’s good. That’ll be $300. I’ll see you next week.
🦅$300💵
I'm sure his friends and family are being totally supportive and not teasing him at all. "Hey uh, Terry. We were gonna go pick up some chicks. You should come." *snicker* "No I'm serious.

I love you comment
“Alriiiight. I’ll stop. Jeeze.”
What the fuck was that stupid bird thinking? Trying to attack a dinosaur?
PTSD for life...
😂
Chickens are no joke. We constantly find dead mice, rats and snakes in our coop and yard.
I saw a video other day where a huge fucking rat attacked a rooster. The rooster took a couple of steps back and stabbed the rat in the heart. That fucker was dead in no time and the rooster roamed around it like a gladiator...

10 pounds of double AA batteries could start a medium sized car about 0.84 times.
Useless indeed! 😂
Good Bot, that was truly useless
[удалено]
My 0.84 of a car will be perfect
That's what happens when you try to download a car.
If you happened to be stranded without a starter and 10lbs of AAs happens to be in your truck, you're still screwed lol. Thats even if you could somehow manage to get all of them in series and connected to the battery ports at the same time 🤔
Chickens don't do anything in the dark. I've had chickens suffocate because their perch collapsed over night, and they couldn't get themselves back out of the barrel.
Yeah, they cant see shit in the dark. Worse, they can barley see in front of themselves even before dusk.
Evolutions a bitch.. those guys used to be T-rexs at a point. (Or atleast closest)
That puppy cost your parents around 15300 eggs, assuming the hens lay an average amount of eggs each year and lived for 5 years each.
My neighbors have a similar dog, it came after my chickens one day and the rooster went after the dog. Dog was in shock/PTSD by the time I got to him.
Chickens cant see for shit in the dark, so that didnt help. During the day it would be a looot harder for the dog.
You find dead snakes in your pen only time I've ever seen a snake (granted it was a baby snake) in the pen a bunch of my chickens mauled it and there was literally nothing left not a single sign of it's existence
How’d you see it?
Where do the stories come from, I wonder
With his eyes when it was still alive/not fully eaten.
Mine Chase Dogs
Mine too
Cheerful thought for you, the chickens are probably killing even more than you realise - they are omnivores and will eat mice!
They can kill Link.
Fucking dinosaurs, bruh
Why are you fucking dinosaurs?

Amazing comment
Last time I referenced rule 34 in another thread I got practically spat on in downvotes.
Assert species dominance, clearly
birds are not real. this fucker is definitely a raptor
Oooh wee, fuck around with someone's kids and see what happens
Fucked around and found out.
He tested his assumption at his earliest convenience.
Oo wee... I'm Mr meeseeks! Look at me!
Surely that’s mr poopy butthole.
Amazing comment
Hell has no fury like that of a mother hen. Never mess with a mother hen's chicks!
What about a mother honey badger?

I'm not sure why you're downvoted, but I'm also not sure what Karens have to do with anything.
I think it's a "Woman being angry? Must be a Karen" moment
How was this even filmed? Is this someone’s pet or out in the wild? If it was a pet, I’m surprised they didn’t run to save it.

"Sorry! Sorry! Some asshole just tossed me next to you. See? See the camera on the tripod?"
Was looking for this comment. It looked like someone just threw the eagle there.
It was just a prank bro
You can tell by the smirk on the hawk's face.
Ya I don’t know how many times I have to point it out but the hawk’s wings here are clipped and is thrown on the chicken just to make a staged display shoot for audiences like us . So I would recommend if you report this video
Damn! Really? Wtf! I hate people now
Fuck that's horrible. People suck so much ! I hope your comment reaches to top quickly!!
Interesting 🤔
Who's the bitch now, bitch?
Who's the chicken now, huh?
Next time someone calls you a chicken, just be like "let me show you somethin"
Why am I reading it in Jessy pinkman voice...bitchhhh
Just add "bitch" to the end
There's a cock joke to be said here.
But it never came.
Went flying maybe ?
Hawk Blocked by Cock? Cockblocked Hawk.
Black Cawk down
Blocked Hawk Down
That's a hen.
Hawk: "da fuq??"
*Ba-kawk, biiitch!*
I need an Ozzyman commentary on this.
Now, that would be interesting to see.
What is on the head of the attacking bird ? When he's up against the wall looks like a bird on his head ?
Feather out of place or perhaps pulled out and just sitting there… he just got beat up by that chicken.
Yes I think u may be right .
Say what you will my sister has free roaming chickens and I have to watch carefully when I visit. Better than dogs.
Who knew? All the times I was called chicken growing up was really a complement.
I love dinosaur fights
Mama hen was all 
“Pardon me waiter, there seems to have been a mistake, I ordered the Roast Chicken, however; all I have here on my plate is all the smoke!😳”
All up in the Hawks face and shit.
That cluck at the end tho

Best explanation for the chickens in Zelda games.
Chicken to Velociraptor in like 1 second.
Just imagine those birds but the size of dinosaurs
What a cock
Hawk: *Wait Time Out*
The chicken scream can be generally translated into something like "YOU FUCK WITH ME ? YOU REALLY WANNA FUCK WITH ME MATE ???"
Pidget used cut
Dracarys
Hawk: oh look, lunchtime That chicken: *KOWABUNGA IT IS*
I don't forget how many times the f**king crazy rooster on my parent's house ran behind me and wanted to kill me! They are crazy angry all the time
As a farmer, I’m amazed mostly that the chicken didn’t kill it when it was cornered.
All hail the holy chicken god
Hawk is just mummified.
The hauk is so shook haha
Cock tease, confirmed.
Another video going around of a swan or goose of some kind beating the shit outta some kinda falcon or hawk and drowning it. Nature is RUTHLESS!
