I noticed a few photos above; military personnel stand guarding with empty guns, why? Ukraine is in the edge of war but their soldiers are holding weapons without ammo?

Perhaps they are maintaining a peaceful stance. They are just following orders I'm sure.

More from the Ukraine..

Ukrainian soldiers at the Belbek military base talk friends and family members through the gates of the base entrance on March 3, 2014 in Lubimovka, Ukraine. Tensions at the base, where between 100 and 200 Ukrainian soldiers are stationed, are high as a 4pm deadline reportedly given by Russian troops for the Ukrainians to surrender passed and locals feared the Russians might attack tonight. Heavily-armed soldiers who are not displaying identifying insignia but are widely believed to be Russians have blockaded several Ukrainian military bases across Crimea.

A Ukrainian Navy officer looks at the scuttled decommissioned Russian vessel "Ochakov" from the Black Sea shore outside the town of Myrnyi, western Crimea, Ukraine, Thursday, March 6, 2014. In the early hours of Thursday Russian naval personnel scuttled the decommissioned ship, blockading access for five Ukrainian Naval vessels now trapped inside of the Southern Naval Headquarters located in Myrnyi in Western Crimea as Russian war vessels patrolled just of the coast. The vessel was brought by Russian naval forces on the 4th of March towed by a tug boat while escorted by a warship and several gun boats. Marines from the Ukrainian navy heard a loud explosion in the early hours of last night coming from the vessel blocking a channel leading to the Black Sea. (AP Photo/Darko Vojinovic)

Colonel
It's fom Viraat. It's not for food, the sailors won it from some competition. It's like the pet of the ship.

Is the Viraat a warship of is it Noah's Ark? I am beginning to question the professionalism on IN's personnel. What competiton? I pray to God they do not have cock fighting on board a naval warship let alone a capital ship like that.
That looks more like a rooster to me than a chicken.
