Chickens are much more than egg laying. You probably didn’t know that about cute animals. Surely you all know that hens are very caring mothers who defend their puppies from predators for the price of their lives … But these facts may be a little less familiar to you.1. They tell each other what they see. Chicks communicate with more than 24 vocalizations, each with a special meaning. Among them is a warning against predators.2. Chickens like to play and will sunbathe, run and jump if you just give them that chance.3. They dream about sleep – just like humans do.4. They know who the boss is. Like humans, hens form some kind of social structure.5. The roosters try to get the cocks attention by performing a special dance. The hens, however, are said to be attracted to cocks that have a large chin.6. The hens talk to their unborn chickens, and they answer through the eggshells.7. They can orient themselves through the position of the sun, with the help of which they also know what part of the day it is.

It’s cool hens can talk to eggs and these reply back. ? I guess it’s pretty much like human mothers talking to their babies in the womb, and they answer back by moving or kicking.
I was quite sure chickens were smart, and these facts proved it! Thanks for sharing, it was very interesting to read. ?
Thank you. I’m glad you liked the post. Your comment is also very interesting ?
Very interesting facts which goes to show we have a lot in common with other animals.
I agree. Sometimes I’m very surprised to read a similar article
Thank you very much for sharing so curious facts about hens & chickens!!! And, of course, they have some kind of social structure – many of their actions look consistent.
Thank you so much, Anastazija. I notice that I don’t know many things yet
my dad raised chickens on their mini-farm. (My mother loves brown eggs)! I remember the thing about chickens that always freaked me out, they will eat anything. Including a chicken carcass.
I never had chickens. The first time I hear that they eat chicken trunk. That sounds awful.
chickens eat everything, without regard. I used to watch the chickens when my folks were out of town.
I did love the brown eggs though. just not feeding them.
Lovely photo of these beautiful fluffy chickens. I would love to have hens here but there are cats around that would kill them..I don’t want to lock them up in a cage…
My sister has 3 hens, the are shavers, and there is no rooster, and they are great egg layers, they are happy hens as they can wander around the paddock freely.
I like walking and talking to her hens as they are interested and talk back to me. These hens are wonderful pets as well as giving better eggs than the supermarket.
I also never had chickens. I don’t have enough garden to not live behind the fence. The hens had my neighbor. I gave her a salad and she gives me eggs …. it was a great trade ?
It certainly was, sometimes my sister gives me fresh eggs
We have bred hens and so know most of what you have stated.
I also heard this the first time because we never had a chicken
that last one kinda blows me away
hahaha … and why not the first
if they can communicate in the shell, they can communicate out of the shell
Those in the list were interesting and I have never heard of them.
Thank you, Alex. I heard it for the first time too
Nice and interesting post, dear Vida… I knew little about chickens
I’m glad you learned something new
Obviously, there are many more things I have yet to learn, dear Vida
You are welcome ….
Nice and interesting post, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind comment
I never knew this about chickens. Cute photo.
Thank you, Carol. I didn’t know that either.
We raised chickens at home when we were young. So I know quite a bit about chicken farming. I love chicks, they are so cute and fuzzy.
We’ve never had a chicken so this is new to me
Thank you for the interesting information about hens/chicks.
I’m glad you liked the information
