🎥 - Of my beautiful brown girl (Mrs Brownie) talking back to me 🤨 YES, I talk to my chickens .. Haha and I am sure she told me too CLUCK OFF 😅🤣
5 Strange facts about chickens (We are all learning something today) 🙏
1 - There are more chickens on the planet than any other land animal 🐔 (Weird) 🫣 but I believe it!
2 - Chickens can recognise up to 100 faces -- Chickens don’t just recognise other chickens, either. These faces included those of humans! Chickens even remember positive or negative experiences with the faces they recognise and pass that information on to members of their flocks.
(SAY....WHAT) 🐓 Clever things!
3 - Chickens dream --
Similar to dogs and cats who may act like they’re chasing something while asleep, chickens also have very vivid dreams. Chickens experience rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, but researchers don’t yet know what they dream about. We can only imagine!
🤔
4 - Chickens chirp to their eggs -- 🥚
One of the sweetest things you’ll ever hear is that hens chirp to their babies while they’re in the eggs and the chicks chirp back! They also make around 30 different calls to communicate with each other, expressing everything from “thanks for the food!” to “there’s a predator in the coop!”
5 - Chickens use past experiences to make decisions -- 🙏
Like how we’ve learned not to touch a hot stove or why we need to wear sunscreen, chickens use past experiences to inform their decisions. They’ll remember enjoying certain foods or what brought danger to their flock and make decisions based on those experiences.
Let me know ⬇️ down in the comments, wether you learnt something today -- because I certainly did! 👌
