Below are some of the interesting facts about Hen and chicken:

• With 25 billion chickens in the world, there is more than any other bird species.
• The greatest number of eggs produced per chicken per year is 371.
• Chickens have full-color vision – no color blindness!
• Chicks have pain receptors that allow them to feel pain and stress. Imagine their agony when they suffer mutilations, such as the ends of their sensitive beaks, cut by an infra-red laser – with no painkillers.
• Hens protects their children from predators.
• Chickens like to play and run, jump and sunbathe when they are given the opportunity, but billions of them spend their entire life in cramped sheds with less space than a sheet of A4 paper.
• Chickens dream, like us. They experience REM (rapid eye movement) during sleep, indicating that their minds can escape from the four walls of the factory farms where they are imprisoned.
• Studies show that chickens are smarter than young ones. Hens have demonstrated mathematical thinking, self-control and even structural engineering.
• Chickens know who the boss is. Like us, they form social structures known as “hierarchical orders,” and all chickens know their place on the ladder. This happens only when they are packed into sheds of intensive farms with tens of thousands of other birds, whose social hierarchy collapses, and stress leads to feather-pecking and cannibalism.
• Chickens originate from tropical rainforests, where they have evolved over millions of years, and artificial pasture farms leave vulnerable and exposed.
• Studies show that chickens survive a predator attack in 90% of cases when they live in their natural habitat.
