If you're afraid of birds, you might want to stop scrolling, because NOTHING can prepare you for this behemoth that's about to roll out from his coop like the final boss in a video game

**No, it's not Big Bird.**

This mutant-like chicken has gone viral on social media and it's ginormous
The clip first appeared on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/LifesBook_Ceo/status/843362397666664448/video/1) and went viral, with over 30,000 retweets.
As expected, netizens suspected fowl play (not sorry) and spent a big part of their weekend being scared of him or debating whether it's real or fake
As much as you want to be in denial of this huge feathered dinosaur, **it's not fake** and many of them are happily roaming the Earth scaring every living human being in sight.
The rooster in question is a breed of chicken known as the "Brahma"
These big birds were developed in the US from large fowls that were imported from China back in the 1840s.
**According to the American Livestock Conservancy, such creatures generally weigh around 12 pounds (5kg), but have been known to reach 18 pounds (8kg).**

The big chicken apparently belongs to a guy named Fitim Sejfijaj, who posted the video to a Kosovo-based Facebook group called Shepeztaria Dekorative, which translates to "decorative poultry"
We also found out that the bird's name is **"Merakli"**. He's pretty popular in the group, for obvious reasons.

You're cool, Merakli. But we hope we'll never see you in real life.
