Jumping Rooster by Stefan's Page

 

1.The first bird domesticated by man was the goose.

2.There are more chickens in the world than people.                                          

3.Chickens absorb vitamin-D through their combs from sunshine.

4.The average hen will lay 227 eggs a year

5.Roosters can't crow if they can't fully extend their necks.

6.A group of geese on the ground is gaggle, a group of geese in the air is skein.

7.A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

8.Chickens that lay brown eggs have red ear lobes. There is a genetic link between the two.

9.Nine yolks have been found in one chicken egg.

10.A chicken has been documented as having survived 18 months...headless!

I like odd information like this.  You look like Neve Cambell, I think its her name.  An actress.  I am sure you have been told that before.

While out to takes photos for a bpo, I was  driving on Scenic Drive (appropriately named so) I came around a corner and saw this beautiful scene with 13 turkies in the back yard...I turned around to  snap this photo...

Dinah - Thanks for all the chicken facts, Ma'am. But did you know there is a featherless chicken designed for warmer climates? You don't even need to pluck it :-)
