Clever British article on how chicken behavior is like that of humans

[lceh]

A friend sent me this link to a great article about chicken behavior -- maybe not so different from humans after all? It's a clever piece, worth reading if you love chickens.

Thanks for posting this! I happen to agree with him completely -- there is much to be learned from observing chickens (or other animals). We humans have a tendency to get too wrapped up in ourselves.

That was such a wonderful article--thank you so much for posting it! I feel the same way about chickens as the author. I'm definitely linking it in my blog and Facebook!

Glad you all enjoyed it as much as I did! I actually printed out a copy, something I generally don't do with on-line articles.
