hey kids whenever i browse this site, i see more and more videos of people talking about things like youtuber drama, the election, world politics, and it made me think hey, maybe i should start covering more relevant nuanced topics in my videos anyway, let's talk about chickens. so the story of the chicken begins a long time ago in southeast asia. now this area had a ton of bamboo growing all over the place and the thing about bamboo is it follows a very specific life cycle where once every 50 years or so every bamboo plant in a given region will blossom at the exact same time then shortly after they litter the whole area with these little seeds known as bamboo rice or as i called them bambinos these pellets get planted, the current bamboo dies out, and the cycle starts over now enter the ancestor of the
domesticated chicken known as the red jungle fowl. the jungle fowl lived in the same area as the bamboo and as you can imagine they got a lot of benefit out of being literally knee-deep in food once every half century so much so that evolution basically said alright when food supplies go up i want you to just start pumping out babies like there's no tomorrow that way we can take as much advantage of each bloom as possible. as a result, the chicken population became synchronized with the bamboo shooting up during blooms and dwindling in between, then humans showed up and they saw this pattern and they said wow how bamboozling, and then they realized, wait a minute that pun was dumb but also we can harness this whole chicken cycle thing all we have to do is give these guys a whole bunch of food and
we can make their reproductive systems go into overdrive whenever we want! do you know what that means lots a hot bird porn? no it means we get as many eggs as we could ever dream of so with a bit of work we managed to domesticate the chicken around 5000 bc and as you can imagine the idea of having a literal egg-laying machine around the house was extremely popular leading to the chickens spreading across the entirety of the civilized world over the course of a few millennia i think it's interesting that despite the fact that the west has had chickens for most of its history it wasn't until way later that we figured out where they came from like alright men
it's time to delve into the world of the unknown we're gonna see things the likes of which man has never laid eyes upon before, but if you keep your wits about you we just might make it out of here alive hey, is this this yours? no. weird? what the hell! of course having a constantly supercharged uterus is not without its drawbacks after all the chicken essentially goes through its entire menstrual cycle every day so next time your girlfriend's complaining about how bad her period is get her a box of chocolates, and be generally attentive to her needs you prick. anyway one thing with chickens and most other egg-laying critters
is that they only have one hole in their pelvic region which is called a cloaca i think, or "clo-a-ca" cloaca? so the croatia basically acts like a funnel taking all the eggs and waste and sending it down the same chute and while this might sound convenient at first there is one fatal disadvantage that affects chickens in particular sometimes the eye can get stuck on its way out leading to a condition known as egg binding and since this means nothing can exit the clamato anymore the egg bound chicken ends up dying of constipation over the course of a couple days. hey jerry, how you doing? ah not good shawn, not good. oh man, what's wrong? it's just ever since jenni got egg bound things have been so stressful her funeral expenses are through the roof and her memory means so much to me, but if the bills keep coming in like this
i'm not sure my family will be able to handle it. well. hey man you know what they say don't put all your eggs in one casket let's just hope she doesn't get egg zoomed i'm sorry. don't ever contact me, or my kids ever again. i understand. anyway that's all for today. till next time, i'm sam o'nella, and thank you for watching
