Chicken ( gallus gallus domesticus )

Chicken ... or gallus gallus domesticus!

Chickens eat both vegetation and meat.  They will eat rats, mice, lizards, and other rodents. They are animals that live in a flock.They have a way of keeping things under way. This is called the pecking order. Chickens will eat almost anything, even chicken. The pecking order determines which hens will get more food, and which ones will get their feathers plucked out. Mostly, only the hens will peck.

The rooster's job is to keep the hens in order. He is distinguished by his large red comb. He decides which hen gets food by dancing in a circle around them, which the hens brain responds to. He also will pick up food and drop it near other hens. A pecking order is when a higher hen pecks some feathers off a lower hen, and so on.

Hens will lay eggs. Sometimes the eggs will be picked to be sold, and sometimes the hen will get babies.
