'Have you never seen a chicken before?': Coles shopper makes surprising discovery on chicken drumsticks
- Replies 30
A Coles shopper was left perplexed after finding strange protrusions poking out of some chicken drumsticks he had purchased for his dogs.
Unsure of what they were, the concerned customer decided to share a video online in hopes of getting to the bottom of the mystery.
According to the post on social media, the shopper noticed small black objects that appeared to be 'moving' or 'flopping' from one of the skin-on drumsticks.
The shopper poked and prodded the chicken’s packaging, trying to get more clues as to what the mysterious black filaments were.
'What is wrong here? We’re taking them back to get a refund no matter what, but what are these and how bad could it have been?' The shopper asked.
He also added his theory that they were 'concerning' parasites.
Considering the rather distressing view, they also decided a store return was necessary.
When you first saw the image, what came to mind? Unless you already know the what the protrusions are, it’s safe to assume you were also thinking about some exotic hitchhiker making its presence known.
But other users immediately identified the strange black 'parasites' as chicken feathers that were missed when the feathers were being removed.
'Looks like feathers not fully plucked,' one replied.
'There are often leftover feather stubs on skin-on chickens,' another said.
Many users expressed their frustration towards the shopper, with one asking: 'Have you never seen a chicken before?'
'Seriously, if you can't handle the fact that chickens once had feathers and you're only comfortable seeing “meat” as sold to you by big corporations you need to do some research,' another added.
‘Judging from the other replies, I think I speak for everyone by saying that because you couldn’t identify partially plucked feathers, you are a daft c**t,’ another said.
‘I would strike you down where you stand for daring to post such an abysmal thing… Also keep the bones, they are great for stock and soups.’
Despite the backlash he received, the user expressed his intent to leave his post up so other users who experience the same confusion can identify what unplucked chicken feathers look like as he claimed there was little information on it on the internet.
'Despite the dunking, I will not be deleting this post.'
'Maybe someone else freaking out seven years from now will see this, call me an idiot with a laugh, and calm down and pluck out the damn things.'

In other news, one man in New Zealand recently experienced the shock of his life after eating his burger and finding something squirming.
The unsightly add-on was pasty white and elongated. Yet, its most striking characteristic was that it pulsed as it tried to move around.
Two veterinarians identified it as a tapeworm segment to a news outlet, but the mystery remains—how did this parasite come to be in the man’s meal?
