Chicken behaviour

Lot’s of interesting stuff.

Fighting: “This fighting often continues until they reach maturity and the pecking order is well established.”

Foraging: “In the wild, jungle fowl spend 61% of their time foraging. Foraging behaviors include pecking and scratching at potential food sources, as well as looking for and sampling possible food sources. Providing chickens with a complete feed eliminates the need for foraging in order to obtain nutrients, but the hens will continue performing this behavior”

Nesting: “Birds are mimics”
