An update for anyone interested:

Video has gone completely nuts. Been viewed on Facebook more than 580k times as of this post, 36k+ on Youtube. Essentially all in the last three days. Wish I'd set up a Youtube channel prior to this but c'est la vie you know? We're receiving some perks already from producing this popular content. We have accepted an offer from a major distributor to supply us with some free chicken feed--which is basically the pinnacle of animal sanctuary stewardship.

Before you die, I recommend everyone try to make some viral content at least once. It's a lot of fun. People from all over the world are laughing and enjoying themselves over something I recorded from my recliner. I've seen comments along the line of, "Thanks, I really needed a laugh today." It's cool. For years now I've been writing fiction with the goal of briefly removing people from their daily concerns and now this chicken video accomplishes my aim and does so across cultural and even language barriers as it gets shared on non-English speaking Harry Potter fan-sites.

It's going to end at some point, or at least it's going to slow to something less absurd than 150k+ hits a day. I mean, my sanctuary's page had less than 200 followers before this. Most of my posts reach around 100 people, while this video has appeared in the timelines of like 1.5million folks. So we're trying to keep some perspective but we're also becoming hopelessly addicted to the constant stream of Facebook notifications.
