In our ongoing journey to learn more about the food we eat, chickens are much more than just the sum of their parts.
Knowing more about chickens not only creates a better-informed, healthy consumer but also gives the food the respect it deserves.
Since chicken is one of the most popular foods around the world, here are some interesting facts that will leave you realizing just how amazing these birds are:
🐔 The chicken was probably first domesticated for the purpose of cockfights not as food.
🐔 With 25 billion chickens in the world, there are more of them than any other bird species.
🐔 Chickens can remember over 100 different faces of people or animals.
🐔 The colour of the egg depends on the chicken’s earlobes. Red ear lobed chickens lay brown eggs while white ear lobed chickens lay white eggs.
🐔 If chickens listen to classical music, they can lay bigger and heavier eggs.
🐔 Chickens can run up to 9 miles per hour!
🐔 A chicken’s heart beats from 220 to 360 times per minute.
🐔 Chickens have their own unique language with over 30 different sounds used to communicate.
