Like hey! Like I never considered this before now. Wow! I like checked it out, and like wow, there have not been like studies on this before and like it could be a real mystery. I watched them chickens for like hours and from what I could see, I like figured that nothing I observed proved the roosters were any smarter than like the hens. The rooster, like has a job to do and the hens like have a job to do and they all just like wander around the yard looking for food.
Seriously! The gender of the chicken has little to do with the intelligence of the bird. The brain of a bird is quite small and the birds actions are mostly controlled by circumstance/instinct. Hens seek food and lay eggs, the more food they can find and consume the better their health, thus improving the quality of their eggs. The better eggs have a greater chance of survival thus ensuring the survival of the species. The roosters job is to mate with the hens, fertilizing the eggs. His other job is to protect the flock, the rooster runs toward danger to either fight off the predator or to die trying thus giving the hens time to run and hide, either way it helps ensure the continuation of the species.
spurs are hard knobs on the rooster's legs, near the feet. They are often pointed and can be quite long.
Chickens and roosters.
they cluck to each other which is like talking so yes...
They are both! Most of the chickens in the super markets are raised especially for meat use and grow so fast (heavy) that they are useless for breeding or pets. They are generally crosses between cornish and rock breeds. The roosters may reach market weight a few weeks sooner then the hens but they will soon follow.
The spur on a chicken is usualy on a rooster and it is like a big claw on the bottom of their leg. I have chickens and my hens have tiny spur like things but roosters spurs are much bigger.
No, a rooster produces sperm as do most males
Yes Hens and roosters mate to fertilize the eggs the hen produces
They 'give' us eggs because it is normal for them to reproduce, but they are not fertilised by roosters so they do not hatch like fertilised eggs and we can eat them.
there are alot of answers for this type of question. There are some birds like parrots, chickens, roosters, and other domesticated birds that we see today.
At his funeral, or when he can't chase and catch the hens.
It seams that chickens know what not to eat, if they have a choice. Mainly what is bad for you (like molded food) might be bad for your chicken. They eat all sorts of things, especially hens, roosters not so much.
Yes. Roosters have many different vocal sounds. A reassuring clucking sound is common for roosters to make.
