FUN FACTS
The same gene that determines the color of a chicken’s earlobe also determines the color of her egg. Red earlobes means brown eggs, blue earlobes means blue eggs, and white earlobes means white eggs.
Chickens experience a rainbow of feelings. For example, they mourn when another chicken in the flock dies, and they show signs of depression if they are removed from the flock and have to live alone.
Chickens (all birds, really!) experience REM sleep, which means they dream. The question now is: what do chickens dream about? Are they working out social problems as they sleep? Consorting with angels, like Joseph? Reliving a pleasant memory? Or soaring like an eagle?
