Netizens Amused After Chicken Undergoes Successful Surgery In Trending TikTok Video: "This Would Be Dinner"

• Internet users have been amused by a TikTok video that showed an unexpected surgical procedure performed on a chicken
• The video showed the chicken undergoing a successful surgical procedure at a veterinary clinic and later recovered fully
• The surgery was performed on the chicken's crop after it was anaesthetised and intubated, with its chest feathers gently taped back to expose the surgical area

A recent TikTok video has taken the internet by storm, showing an unusual and surprisingly heartwarming scene - a chicken undergoing a successful surgical procedure.

Chicken goes under the knife for swollen crop

The video, which garnered widespread attention and amusement from netizens, showed the chicken wearing an oxygen mask while in a veterinary clinic.

The video, posted by TikToker Kyeremaa Benedicta on her account @fotben, documented the chicken's journey from the surgical theatre to its full recovery.

"This chicken got a successful surgery," she captioned the video.

In the video, the chicken is then put under anaesthesia and intubated, with feathers around its chest area taped back to expose the surgical area.

The surgery targeted the chicken's crop, a small pouch where ingested food is temporarily stored before moving to the digestive system.

How was the recovery journey?

The surgical team carefully opened the crop, removing food and fibrous materials, and then cleaned, stitched, and bandaged the area.

Later, the chicken recovered remarkably as it mingled with other chickens.

Grabbly Farms, a poultry-related resource, indicated that such surgeries are sometimes necessary when a chicken suffers crop impaction.

Crop impaction occurs when material stored in the crop becomes stuck and cannot pass through to the oesophagus leading to reduced appetite, weight loss, and depression in poultry.

Grabbly Farms notes mild cases of crop impaction can be addressed with gentle massage and hydration techniques. Still, surgical intervention becomes necessary in severe cases.

Internet users share their opinions

The video sparked fascination as the procedure amused netizens.

Man uses phone to feed chicken remotely

In another report, an innovative Kenyan man shared a video showing how he feeds his chicken remotely.

Going by @kamtascientist on TikTok, the man showed how he made a chicken feeder to dispense maize.

"Let's say I am in Nairobi and need to feed my chicken. I simply make a call."

The video showed him with one phone as another was placed atop a stick holding the chicken feed.
