Later in the clip, the stripped carcass appears on screen with the words “RIP Melanie” written over it.
Kristen said she had been experimenting with different foods to keep her chickens healthy and entertained, as reported by Need To Know.
She said: “I am always trying to find new and cheap things to feed my chickens that are high in protein.
“A lot of protein makes chickens lay more eggs.
“Rotisserie chicken is $5 at Walmart, so I gave it a try.
“I also fed them this to change up their food.
“I’ve heard chickens get bored easily and bored chickens bully each other.”
She added that she found the backlash amusing.
Kristen, from Cherryville, North Carolina, US, said: “Some understood and some were disgusted.
“It doesn’t bother me.
“My chickens are treated like queens and lead a great life.”
The video has racked up more than 417,000 likes online.
But many viewers were left horrified by what they saw.
One person said: “Enforced cannibalism is illegal in many countries. It’s really bad for health.”
Another said: “Is this… is this a crime??”
One viewer said: “Awful person to do this.”
And one viewer added: “But why are people making their chickens cannibals.”
Someone else said: “That’s the same as humans eating humans. It just isn’t right.”
Another commented: “Feeding chickens chicken… is diabolical.”
One person said: “That’s why chickens taste like chicken.”
Another said: “That’s morbid, I will never do this.”
One commenter added: “The chickens: ‘too bad Melanie ain’t here’.”
