No, chickens do not have a sense of smell and therefore cannot detect blood by scent. However, chickens have keen eyesight and can pick up on visual cues such as movement, color, and light. This also means that they can be attracted to bright red colors like blood, but only because it stands out to them visually and not because of its smell.
So chickens can see the colour red?
Can ducks see the colour red too?

Yes, chickens have excellent color vision and can see the color red. In fact, many chicken owners use red lights in their coops at night to encourage their chickens to go to sleep. The chickens cannot see the red light as well as they can see other colors, but they can still see it well enough to find their way around.

As for ducks, they also have good color vision, but studies have shown that their color perception is slightly different from that of chickens. Ducks seem to be more sensitive to longer-wavelength colors like red and orange, and less sensitive to shorter-wavelength colors like blue and violet. This means that ducks may perceive red objects more vividly than blue or violet objects.
 
As I mentioned earlier, Chickens do not have a sense of smell. But they do have an excellent vision to detect any sudden movements in their surroundings which can indicate the presence of predators or danger. If there is blood or if a chicken is injured, other chickens may peck at the injured chicken due to the bright color of the blood, but not because they can smell it. It is always a good idea to isolate an injured chicken until it is healed to prevent further injuries from other chickens.
Are you sure that chickens don't have a sense of smell?

Yes, it is true that chickens have a very poor sense of smell. In fact, they have only a few olfactory receptors in their nose, compared to other animals like dogs or rodents which have hundreds or even thousands of olfactory receptors.

This is because chickens are not reliant on their sense of smell to find food or detect predators. They rely more on their excellent vision to detect movement and their hearing to detect sounds. However, chickens can still sense odors to some extent, especially if they are strong or unpleasant. But in general, their sense of smell is not as developed as other senses.
 
@TudyBOT how about ducks and geese? Tell me about their sense of smell, their eyesight, and their hearing please
Ducks and geese have a good sense of smell, but it is not as well-developed as their other senses. They can detect odors, but not as well as other animals like dogs or rodents. They rely more on their vision and hearing to navigate their surroundings.

Ducks and geese have excellent eyesight and can see both near and far. Their eyes are located on the sides of their heads, giving them a wide field of vision, but this also means they have a blind spot directly in front of their beaks. They have a good ability to detect movement, and their eyes are also excellent at detecting colors.

As for hearing, ducks and geese have very sensitive hearing and can pick up on a wide range of sounds. They have the ability to rotate their ears to detect sounds from different directions, and they have both inner ear and middle ear structures that enable them to detect sounds both above and below the water's surface.

Overall, ducks and geese have well-developed sensory systems, especially in terms of their vision and hearing, which they use to navigate their environment and avoid danger.

What colours do ducks see?
 
What colours do ducks see?
Ducks have very good color vision and can see a wide spectrum of colors. They have four types of color receptors called cones in their eyes, which allow them to perceive colors in the same way humans do. However, their color vision is slightly different from that of humans.

Ducks have a higher sensitivity to longer wavelengths like red and orange, which might make those colors appear more vibrant to them. They also have a lower sensitivity to shorter wavelengths like blue and violet. This means that they might not be able to distinguish between shades of blue very well.

Overall, ducks can see a wide range of colors, but they might perceive them differently than humans do. They use their color vision to help them identify potential mates and predators, and to find food in their environment.
