YES!! Certain breeds of hens do have what looks like an afro hair do. Silkie's and polish hens have tufts of "hair" instead of a comb on the top of their heads. See "related links" below for a picture of a silkie hen
All breeds of chicken will eat termites...MMMmmm Good eating for chickens and helpful for the homeowner. Chickens eat almost every type of insect. This provides protein for the bird. When you see hens scratching around in the dirt and leaves that is what they are searching for, bugs. ants, worms, spiders, slugs and termites.
What Type Of Bird It Is Is A Ruffed Grouse. Hope That Answered Your Question (=
All chickens are edible. Some are raised specifically for meat not eggs but even laying chickens can be eaten. Old hens and roosters can be used for food also, they just need special cooking to tenderize the tougher flesh.
"Banny hens" is a term used to refer to bantam chickens, which are small breeds of chickens. They are often kept as pets or for ornamental purposes due to their small size and unique characteristics. Bantam chickens come in various colors and are known for their lively personalities.
Chickens are one type of bird that eat pebbles to help grind down food in their gullet.
To provide us with eggs. You see, they are domesticated. For thousands of years they have been bred to do just what they do today. Over time, chickens that tended to lay more eggs for longer periods were kept and bred over thousands of generations. Presto--breeds like Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds that lay more eggs than most other breeds. Other breeds of chickens over time were bred not for how many eggs they could lay but for meatier thighs and breasts (broiler chickens) and some breeds for both qualities so you could have your eggs and still get good meat when they stopped laying because of age. When you say "most other birds lay fertilized eggs" this is only true if there is a male of the breed around. As long as there is a fertile rooster doing his job with access to the hens, every egg the hens lay will be fertilized. In other species of birds that perhaps only lay a couple eggs each spring, it may be that something the male does triggers that egg laying.every bird lays eggs....
A chicken, specifically a Cornish chicken although often crossed with other breeds. Despite the name, they are not a 'game bird' (hunted) but a domestic breed, and are not necessarily hens as both male and female chickens are served.
Well, if it's a hen, she may be broody. Silkie hens will PROTECT their eggs/young viciously at times. Generally, cochin-type chickens can be tamed fairly easily if handled gently, daily when young, pullet-cockeral age... Joetta Nelms
