1) chickens are descended from tyrannosaurus rex
2) Young chickens, called chicks, hatch from eggs
3) the chicks feed on their mother's milk during the first few hours after hatching. Because mature hens have only one mammary gland ( chicken breast) which is difficult to find, competition to feed can be fierce, and the chicks will sometimes eat each other alive, to get rid of their siblings
4) Chickens, like the fish they eat, can actually count
6)) When angry, a chicken will count to ten
7) The flesh of chickens may be brown or white, but never both in the same bird, largely due to archaic segregation laws
8) chickens have thighs, but no calves
9) some chickens are male, but the vast majority are female. In rare instances a chicken may self pollinate
10) chickens tend to think on their feet
Please send any more facts you have on these fascinating amphibians so we can add them to our data base. Thank you
