Chickens Are Not Picky About Their Food

Sure, chickens will mostly eat seeds and grass. However, when the opportunity presents itself, they will also indulge in snacks like insects, worms, and similar creatures smaller than them.

Chickens Descended from Dinosaurs

This might be hard to believe, but it is true: chickens are considered to have descended from dinosaurs, at least in scientific terms. One study found that collagen found in Tyrannosaurus Rex’s bones matches the most with those of chicken among more than 20 species used for comparison.

Chickens Are Quite Smart

The intelligence of chickens is often laughed at. However, the truth is that they are smarter than most people think. They remember faces for a long time, display a wide range of emotions, have sophisticated ways of communication, and engage in advanced social behavior.

Chickens Can Dream

Chickens are also capable of dreaming. While we can’t know what their dreams are made of, studies have shown that they experience rapid eye movement (REM) when they sleep, which is characteristic of the human state of dreams.

Chickens Clean Themselves by Getting Dirty

When chickens cover themselves in dust or dirt, they don’t do it just because they like to get dirty. Instead, this helps them get cleaner. The dust and dirt particles catch stale body oil, which makes their feathers waterproof, and they are able to shake it and make room for fresh ones.

“One of my staff, he was gonna raise chickens. He gave me two eggs, she just jumped on them. We named [the eggs] Bing and Google just because I was going crazy on the internet trying to search what to expect,” Ben’s mom told The Dodo and added that after a couple of hours Bing was peeking out under his mom.

Ben immediately picked up a kind of maternal energy and was all about her tiny little black and white feathered baby.

“You could tell Ben was teaching Bing. It was like you own child that you saved, and now all of a sudden you see them in that role. Whether you plan for a child or not, when the child gets there, you just know what to do,” the owner said.

Sadly, the family had to give up the little rooster, however, he is now living his best life with his new family. If you want to follow Ben’s adventures, check out the gallery below or follow her on Instagram where she shares a profile with her sister, Henni.

A female chicken is born with one ovary and one inactive gonad. That gonad has three options for developing: to become an ovary, a testicle, or a combination of the two called ovotestis.

If there’s a cyst or tumor on the hen’s ovary, the gonad will activate. If it develops into a testicle or an ovotestis, a hen will experience the release of male sex hormone androgen, which may result in a sex change.

“We started about 10 years ago,” Julie explains the beginnings of her business. “It was borne out of necessity as my daughter was always bringing her chickens in the house. We never imagined the product would resonate with so many backyard chicken keepers around the world.”

“Our customers range from hard core indoor chicken keepers, to those caring for sick or injured birds, to the social media crowd who just love interacting with their birds and sharing with friends and family on the internet. You might not think it, but chickens have fascinating and complex personalities,” she added.

What a cute idea, isn’t it?
