Abstract
- Chickens are fascinating creatures with many surprising qualities. Recent studies have shown that chickens are the closest living relatives to T. rex, and they share genetic similarities with birds like ostriches. Chickens are not as unintelligent as they are often portrayed; they can count, perform basic arithmetic, and even practice deceit. They also have excellent eyesight and can see colors that humans cannot. Chickens come in a variety of colors, but all eggs start out as white and gain color from pigments added to the shell. Chickens can be excellent mothers, adopting other birds or species and teaching their chicks proper behavior. Roosters can also be nurturing parents. Overall, chickens are complex and interesting animals that deserve more appreciation. [Extracted from the article]
