Some people may be wondering about more serious questions, such as where the chickens come from and whether white eggs are more nutritious than brown eggs. And others wonder about more trivial facts like whether chickens are colorblind or whether chickens can recognize their breeders.
Females (chickens) are known for their
fleshy combs, protruding jaws under their beaks, and curved tails. In some
roosters, the tail can exceed 30 cm.
Research shows that chickens are smarter
than young children. Chickens showed mathematical reasoning, self-control, and
even structural engineering. Chickens know who the boss is. Like us, they form
a social structure known as a "split order" and each chicken knows
its place on the ladder.
Chickens can run 9 miles per hour
A chicken can run a mile in about 6
minutes and 40 seconds at a top speed of 9 miles per hour.
This will depend on the breed, fitness
level, and disposition of each chicken.
Chickens don't sweat
In general, chickens cope better with cold
weather than hot ones.
This is mainly due to the feathers.
To cool off, drink water or flap your
wings to remove body heat. If they overheat they will also gasp.
The chicken are more than people in the world.
How many chickens are there in the world?
There are currently over 2 billion
chickens in the world. For reference, the global population in 2018 exceeded 8
billion.
Brown eggs are more expensive than white
eggs.
Some people think brown egg are expensive
than white egg, because they are more nutritious or organic.
However, both brown and white eggs have
the same nutritional value, and white eggs can also be organic. The cost
difference is due to the fact that brown egg-laying hens generally eat more and
cost more to maintain than white-egg laying hens.
Chickens don't bathe
Chickens do not bathe with soap and water.
Instead, they take a dust bath.
This involves putting some dirt on the
feathers and using it to clean the body. Removes dead skin cells and eliminates
fat accumulation. All of this helps keep the feathers fresh and clean.
Interestingly, if there is no soil available for the dust bath, the chicken
will continue to do that. This is like a human bathing without water.
Chicken is
not a favorite with chicks.
Interestingly, chickens aren't a favorite
when it comes to chicks. This can be very different from a human parent who
will probably reject it, but still have a favorite parent.
But the woman who answers the phone first
gets the best food, so it's really first-come-first-served!
Chickens can
recognize people
Chickens can recognize and distinguish people
with different faces. They also seem to prefer people with beautiful faces.
Some of the characteristics that define a beautiful face include symmetry and
proportions.
Chickens are not colorblind
Many people think that chickens are
colorblind, but chickens are not colorblind.
Chickens actually have better eyesight and
better eyesight than you.
They can also see color differences that we
cannot see.
Like young chicks, they can easily sense
around obstacles and can distinguish between high and low places.
All of this happens relatively quickly
(usually within two days). For reference, this level of vision development
takes weeks and months to develop in kittens and other animals such as humans.
Does the
chicken know the name?
The short answer is: maybe.
long answer?
Chickens are known to communicate through
sound, but there is no scientific evidence that chickens know their names.
However, you and your chicken may have experienced what appears to be a
reaction when the chicken calls its name, especially when feeding.
The most expensive part of raising chickens
is feeding them.
Chickens are
very cheap to store.
Aside from the cost of buying real chicks or
chickens, the most expensive part of owning a chicken is high-quality feed.
Creating a cooperative is simple and
lucrative, but don't skimp on food, as it can lead to nutritional deficiencies.
Chicks start pecking on the 3rd day of life.
When does the
peck order start?
The pecking sequence behavior does not begin
until the chicks are at least 3 days old. When they turn 16, the fight for
hierarchical order begins. In all female herds, the pecking sequence is usually
set at 10 weeks, but in all male herds it takes much longer.
Do chickens
need sunlight to build a hard shell?
Sunlight is an important factor for healthy
hens and egg laying, but sunlight is not required to develop strong eggshells.
Instead, it is the calcium in your diet that
makes for a hard eggshell.
Chickens use
only one of their ovaries
Did you know that chickens use only one in
two ovaries in their reproductive system?
Hens have two healthy ovaries at birth, but
only the left one matures and functions in the reproductive system. However, in
some cases, if the left ovary is damaged or not working, the right ovary may
develop in its place.
It is believed that developing one ovary
rather than two helps streamline it. Simplification helps the bird's structure
and profile remain slim and streamlined, making it easier to fly.
However, this is usually not very useful for
chickens that do not fly far.
What Causes
Double Yoke Eggs?
Double yolk eggs are because the ovaries
release two yolks at the same time.
This happens more often in young chickens,
where the reproductive system is more active.
Double yolk eggs are very rare, but perfectly
natural. In this case, you do not need to worry about the health of the
chicken.
