Do you want your gravestone to read:

Succumbed fighting 50 Dinosaurs

Or

Perished at the hands of a chicken

Chicken, you didn't specify the size of the dinosaur, my chicken is as big as a Lesothosaurus
I did make a post further on that the dinosaur in question is a velociraptor. So would you like to fight fifty chicken-sized raptors or one raptor-sized chicken?

Depends on how big the dinosaur like chicken was. If it was T Rex size, that’s gonna be scary as hell.

If it’s smaller, gimme the one chicken.

Maybe, maybe not. I asked the initial question. How you handle the situation is up to you.
Well animals can be vicious. I wouldn't want to take on 50 cats hell bent on taking me out. So 50 small dinosaurs might not be that different. Or a giant chicken that had it out for me. Yeah. I don't see good things here.
 
Velociraptor wasnt specified, raptor was....there were lots of different raptors...most were the size of chickens....but still as dangerous as their larger cousins. 50 of those? You are dead....

a chicken the size of a chicken? ok i think i can take it

I would rather fight a dino sized chicken if it's the same size as Velociraptor, if it were 50 chicken sized dino like the t-rex, I'd rather not since I'm not good at hiding hahaha :messenger_beaming: Even if it were 50 chicken sized velociraptor, I'd immediately lose, we all know how vicious they are

Give me chicken sized raptors and I'll go to town with steel toe capped boots.

If you've watched a cock fight (not that kind, you filthy heathens), then you want no parts of that dino-sized chicken. You're basically just facing a dinosaur with a whole lot more crazy. I'd take the chicken-sized dinos, because at that size, you have a chance of defeating them individually, or even in pairs. So you can at least devise a strategy. With a dino-sized chicken, you're fucked. It wasn't the forelimbs that made those dinosaurs terrifying, it was the teeth and the legs. A chicken's beak is terrifying at scale, and give it the kicking power of an ostrich/kangaroo on top of that? Fuck no.

I think if you perform a steady retreat, in order to prevent being flanked, and you can land your kicks, you're going to injure/scare a decent number of those mini-dinos. You can pick up some rocks or stones as weapons. Maybe a stick to keep them at range. Hell, kick some dirt at them to temporarily blind or slow them. At least you have a fighting chance. But a big-ass chicken? Fuck no!

Now, swap a duck for a chicken, and it might be a different situation. A duck's bill seems less likely to maim, but I've seen those mad goose videos.

Yep.

Chickens are like raptors, they have talons that can fuck you up but I'm not really scared of a bunch of them as long as I have boots and jeans on. You could just smash them with your boots or hit them with a bat. A giant chicken is going to have much thicker skin than a standard chicken and standard guns would likely do nothing to them, they'd be extremely difficult to kill.

I guess it would depend on which came first. But as a fan of Monster Hunter, I'd probably opt for the dino-sized chicken.

Dinosaurs were massive but honestly not all that important I don’t see any impact they’ve had on the world sure discovering their bones brings people together.

A dinosaur sized chicken would be TERRIFYING…but I would still choose it as there is only one target. Fifty mini dinos and you wouldn’t be able to keep track of them. It’d be too much to track. Whether it be futile or not, I would prefer knowing there is only one target.

The dinosaur sized chicken for me. Chicken have hollow bones.

A dinosaur sized chicken would crush its own legs & feet with its weight, so it wouldn't be going anywhere.
I would just stand around it and wait for it to die, EZ.

Unless it just magic'd itself up to that size, I think you have to assume that the bone and muscle structure would scale proportionally to accommodate the size. If this was a chicken that grew to the size of a dinosaur, it wouldn't have ever gotten to beyond a point where its body couldn't accommodate its heft.

I assume these comparisons are meant to discount physiology beyond the visual big-ass chicken or tiny-ass dinosaur comparison.
 
I'm for sure going with the dinosaur sized chicken. Why anyone would pick the 50 chicken sized raptors is beyond me. They're not going sit back and take turns, they're going to swarm you like a pack of piranhas.

If you kill the dinosaur chicken you've basically got yourself a lifetime supply of fried chicken, chicken enchiladas, chicken fried rice, chick fil-a, chicken soup, etc.
