Maybe the Barred Rock has that many feather's, but I am betting that all breed's don't. For instance, I have Naked Neck's that have way less feathering, but I am not going to sit here and pluck/count them.

Of the ones you added to the first post, Day 10 is my favorite. It's CRAZY that it's at 105 when it's laid. That's enough heat to kill an incubated egg.

Actually, a hen can hatch an egg at a higher temp than that. This past summer, one of my Naked Neck hen's went broody when the temps were 116-F. She did hatch a couple that I had let her have, but they were eaten by the flock. I don't let them hatch their own chick's out anymore.

@BlueBaby do you know how similar duck and chicken brains work?

 

[TheChiggens]

I need to research how similar they are now!

There is too many cool facts on here to choose my favorite, but one of my favorite facts NOT in the Cluckmazing facts is that chickens are about as smart as an average 7 year old human child!

Oh, that was one of the first ones. Cool, I forgot about that! yes, chickens don't get enough credit for being smart sometimes.
