I hope no ones minds if I share. I'm sure some of you know this but for those who don't here goes.
Chicks can be heard chirping in their shells 24 hours before they begin to hatch.
(sounds like my daughter she came out talking, I swear I could hear her singing row, row,row your boat in my wifes stomach)
Chicks can take from 1 hour to 24 hours to hatch.
(took my son nearly a week and the kid hasn't been on time since)
Chickens eyelids open from the bottom up.
Chicks start to grow feathers in their first week.
The most eggs laid by a chicken in one day are seven.
(nothing compared to that women who had 8 babies)
The greatest number of recorded yolks in one egg was nine.
Chickens have over 200 distinct noises they can make for communicating.
The chicken is believed to be the closest living relative to the T-Rex.
(funny I thought it was my great aunt Tessie)
Chickens can travel 9 miles an hour in a combination of running, jumping and flapping.
(faster if their in a chicken plucker)
When there is no rooster in a flock of hens one hen will take over the job, crow and stop laying eggs.
(must be my mother-in-law hasn't noticed my father-in-law, she's so bossy)
In Roman times, the expression "you were raised by a hen", was a compliment as a chicken makes a great mother.
(remember that the next time your kids complain, just stick'em the coop and let the hens take care of 'em)
Chicks have a lump on their top beak called an "egg tooth" to help them break the shell out. The egg tooth falls off soon after hatching.
( I think my sister -in -law still has hers, she's got this one tooth in front that's longer than the others. It looks like a fang. When I first met her I tried to light it.)
Breaking out of the shell is called "piping".
( and good looking chicks are called "piping hot")
A chickens heart beats 280-315 times a minute.
(faster on Sundays cause that's when we have chicken and dumplings)
A chicken can have 4-5 toes on each foot.
(if they have 4 on one and 5 on other you can tell cause they walk funny)
Chickens were domesticated about 8,000 years ago.
( I was domesticated in 1976, on my wedding day)
In French, instead of saying "goose bumps", you get "chicken bumps" when your cold.
(humm, when I get cold I get whiskey, but then I'm not French, I'm Irish)
Well back to work, have a nice day, love ya.
