Chickens are said to be the closest living relative of the T-Rex, and that's just one of many reasons to find them fascinating.

They're beautiful to look at, with their colorful feathers and bright combs, and they're smart!

Baby chicks communicate with their mothers while still in their eggs, and once grown, chickens can recognize faces and teach each other how to survive and behave. They're fun to watch, as they love to run, jump, and play.
