Until recently it was always taught and assumed that chicken's had a rudimentary olfactory sense. New studies have shown that this is not the case. The chicken's olfactory apparatus is moderately well developed. Chickens clearly detect and respond to a wide range of natural and artificial odors. One recent study out of Scotlands Roslind institute for avian study shows clearly that a chicken has a better sense of smell than that of a laboratory rat.

Do some people smell their chickens?
Not quite sure what you mean here. Farmers who work with chickens very quickly lose the ability to smell what visitors can smell around the farm. The odor of manure is quite unpleasant to visitors but to farm workers it is the smell of hard work, life and a sustainable income for his family. If you mean do they sniff their chickens, well, not usually. There is no real need to smell the chickens. They usually keep pretty clean bathing in the dust, rustling around in the hay and straw. They can't smell too bad since you will often see farm kids carrying a hen around and cuddling it like any other household pet.
