The groups that chickens live in are called
flocks. Chickens are very social birds. But
they are often aggressive toward each other.
They have a “pecking order” which is the
order of the weakest bird to the strongest.
Chickens dominate the weaker birds
especially when they are competing for food
or a nest.
Chickens are noisy like many other birds.
They often cluck at each other and roosters’
cock-a-doodle-doo at dawn.
Chickens are not very fond of water. So
instead of taking a bath in water, they like
to take dust-baths. They like to keep their
feathers in good condition so they also
stroke themselves with their beaks.
When chickens aren’t feeding or exercising,
chickens enjoy taking a nap by perching
about the ground on a branch or pole. Most
times the chickens stand on one leg. The
muscles lock into place so when they are
resting, they won’t fall off of the perch.
Like back in the day, chickens still peck
and scratch at the ground to fine yummy food
for the day. Even though it is many years
later, chickens are still the same animal as
before.
