Hens look similar to roosters, but they are generally shorter and plumper than roosters, and their feathers are shorter and less colorful. A hen's comb and wattle are also smaller and paler than those of a roster.

Hens love to search for food. Farm raised chickens stir from the roost soon after first light and if allowed they will all emerge into the yard and start to hunt for bugs and seeds all day. They eat constantly if allowed. They will pull weeds from the garden, and eat new shoots of vegetables in the spring and even clean up leftover in the garden in the fall. Most hens will take about one hour of the day and sit in a nesting box to lay an egg but as soon as that is done they will join the rest of the flock out in the yard to continue the "treasure" hunt.
