They remember the faces of other chickens — and humans too. They really do know who’s who in the flock.
2. Chickens dream when they sleep.
Just like us, chickens experience REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which means they probably dream!

Chickens use over 30 unique sounds to communicate everything from “I found food!” to “Watch out for danger!”
4. Chickens see more colors than humans.
Their eyes can detect ultraviolet light, making their world even more colorful than ours.

She clucks softly to them, and the chicks chirp back from inside the egg.
6. Chickens are surprisingly fast.
They can run up to 9 mph (14 km/h) and flap their wings to help change direction quickly.
7. Chickens love to sunbathe.
They often stretch out, spread their wings, and soak up the sun — it helps keep feathers healthy.

Studies suggest hens can feel distress when they see their chicks in danger.
