A peculiar incident in Hadige village, Karnataka, on December 18, 2024, saw twelve chickens mysteriously dying and emitting flames from their mouths when pressure was applied to their bodies. Videos of the phenomenon, which remain unverified, have gone viral, sparking widespread curiosity and concern.

Speculations suggest the chickens may have ingested harmful chemicals, leading to an exothermic reaction. Possible contamination in their feed or environmental hazards are also being considered. Public reactions range from humor, dubbing them “dragon chickens,” to serious calls for investigation.

Yeah, I'm filing it under "BS, pending further investigation" as you can't see the entire chicken, so shenanigans could be occuring off-camera.
