Some fun facts about chickens:
1. Chickens can distinguish between more than 100 faces of their own species.

2. Chickens know who’s boss—they form complex social structures known as “pecking orders,” and every chicken knows his or her place on the social ladder.

3. Chickens have full-color vision—no color-blindness here!

4. Who likes to sunbathe? Apparently everyone—humans, cats, dogs, and chickens too! You can’t blame them, and they don’t even need sunscreen.

5. Chickens are real sleeping beauties—they experience rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which means they dream just like we do.

6. Hens defend their young from predators. Looks like calling someone a “chicken” is actually a compliment!

7. A mother hen turns her eggs about 50 times per day and can lay more than 300 eggs per year.
