The screaming chickens clip spread as a short meme audio on social media and soundboards, where editors reused the same flock panic recording for jokes about chaos and alarm. It does not come from a single famous film scene, but from the broader internet habit of turning exaggerated animal noises into reaction sounds. Its popularity grew through reposts, remixes and short form videos, and it remains common because chickens screaming together is instantly recognisable, needs no context, and signals a meltdown faster than any caption could.
