Why do humans not have wings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Humans do not have wings because we never evolved to have them. Our anatomy, physiology, and evolutionary history as a species do not include wings, as flight was not a necessary adaptation for our survival and development. Additionally, the energy and resources required for flight would have likely outweighed the benefits for early humans.

What stains eggs brown?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Brown eggs are not " stained" brown, they are naturally that colour. Egg shell colours depend on the type and colour of the chicken that laid the egg. White chickens will produce white eggs and brown chickens will lay brown eggs. It's due to the amount of melanin, similar to the difference in human skin colours.

Are chickens farm animals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many farm children keep a pet chicken. Chickens respond to care and attention.

Keep in mind that a chicken is a bird and not always the brightest creature. A chicken will run to a familiar person, allow itself to be picked up and handled. It will respond to stroking/petting and eat from a recognized hand. An older hen will make clucking sounds of welcome to its "owner" and follow kids around.

Repetitive reward for such behavior is the key to taming a chicken. If a certain behavior results in food or positive action of some kind, a chicken will learn this. My hens learned that the slamming of the screen door in the afternoon means treats from the kitchen are forthcoming; and all run with wings flapping to a certain spot in the yard. They do not respond this way in the morning to the same sound. A chicken cannot be "house trained" or "paper trained" like a puppy or cat. They can be trained to come to a call.
