Good day farmers

Here are some interesting facts about chicken .

1. Chickens are omnivores: Many people think chickens are vegetarians, but besides eating seeds, grass, and grain, they will catch and eat insects, lizards, toad, and even field mice.

2. Chickens have great memories & can recognize over 100 faces: Everyone with backyard chickens can attest to the fact that their chickens know them and each member of their family. They can even recognize different animals too, such as your dogs and cats. Chickens also remember places and different members of their flock, even after months apart.

3. Egg color is determined by genetics: A hen’s breed indicates what color egg she will produce. For example, Leghorn chickens lay white eggs while Orpington’s lay brown eggs and Ameraucanas produce blue eggs. Typically a chicken’s egg color can be determined by its earlobe color.

4. There are more than 25 billion chickens in the world: There are more chickens than any other bird species on Earth and they also outnumber humans 4 to 1.

5. Chickens are a lot smarter than you think: Recent studies have shown that chickens are intelligent creatures with many traits similar to those of primates. Chickens can demonstrate complex problem-solving skills and have super-sensory powers (such as telescopic eyesight and almost 360- degree vision like owls). They comprehend cause and effect, pass on their knowledge, demonstrate self-control, and even worry.
