Dead Chickens Spitting Fire? The Strange Sakleshpur Phenomenon!
Residents of Hadige village in Sakleshpur, Karnataka, were startled by an unusual and eerie incident on December 18, 2024. A group of chickens belonging to a villager named Ravi mysteriously died, and their lifeless bodies appeared to emit flames from their mouths when pressure was applied to their abdomens.
Videos of this bizarre occurrence quickly went viral, capturing widespread attention and sparking debate on social media.
Viral Video Sparks Debate
In the widely circulated footage, several lifeless chickens lie on a sandy ground, with smoke visibly rising from their bodies. When one of the chickens is pressed on its abdomen, flames momentarily emerge from its mouth. The video, which has amassed over 17 million views on platform X, left viewers shocked and puzzled.
While the authenticity of the video remains unverified, its unusual nature has prompted significant curiosity and speculation.
Theories and Speculations
Social media users were quick to share their theories about the cause of the strange phenomenon. Some speculated that the chickens might have ingested harmful chemicals or toxins that could have triggered an exothermic reaction when their bodies were manipulated.
One commenter suggested, “This could be a reaction caused by chemicals accidentally or deliberately introduced into their feed.” Another user noted, “Such reactions might involve gases or compounds trapped in the bodies, which ignite upon pressure.”
Others, however, doubted the video’s credibility and called for scientific investigation to determine the truth behind the claims.

Ravi, the owner of the deceased chickens, expressed his concerns and requested local authorities to investigate the incident. Reports from local media, including Udayavani, confirmed that the chickens had died mysteriously on the same day the phenomenon was observed.
Public Reaction
The incident has not only alarmed locals but also intrigued online audiences worldwide. Social media platforms have been flooded with reactions ranging from humour to serious curiosity. While some users joked about “dragon chickens,” others emphasized the need for scientific inquiry to uncover potential environmental or chemical factors that might explain the event.
