Social media users can't stop squawking about a viral video of a really, really big chicken.

The surprising clip, which started making the rounds over the weekend, ruffled the feathers of viewers who were feeling, well, chicken after seeing the burly bird emerge from its coop.

But even though many cried "fowl," CNN reported that the video "is definitely not fake" and likely features a Brahma chicken – a breed that reportedly can reach 18 pounds.
