Meet the Brahma chicken, and prepare to have a newfound fear and respect for your next dinner.

Don't be fooled into thinking that this is an optical illusion, the bird is actually that big.

Many people seem to think it's a person in a giant chicken costume but it is in fact a Brahma chicken, a very large breed of chicken that was used for its meat in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

And no, you're not the only one that's terrified by it.
