Chicken Facts

Did you know....

  • Today's domestic chicken most likely originated from Asia.
  • In poultry markets, fowl commonly means a full-grown female bird.
  • Young birds of both sexes, such as broilers and fryers, are called chickens.
  • Male chickens raised on poultry farms are called cocks and/or roosters.
  • Female chickens more than a year old are usually called hens.
  • Females less than a year old are called pullets.
  • Baby chickens of either sex are called chicks.
  • Castrated males are called capons.
  • A modern poultry farm may have several hundred thousand or even more than a million laying hens.
  • They mainly have short wings that make them incapable of flying (unless it is across a very short distance)
  • Laid head to claw, KFC chickens consumed worldwide would stretch some 275,094 miles.
  • Roosters crow. Hens don't(they just cluck).
  • Chickens are injected with hormones for juicier thighs and a meatier texture.
  • Chickens will eat just about anything put in front of them.
