Weird things only poultry people get.

I did no research before getting chickens as I did not buy them. They were a surprise from someone to entertain the kids. Since then I HAVE done research. But still, I knew before I got chickens that CHICKENS ARE NOT MAN-MADE!!

That question might have been more along the lines of, are chickens a natural breed/species, or did humans "create" them by selective breeding; i.e., do they exist in the wild? Answer being, they do exist in nature, African Jungle Fowl, for example, but humans have bred them into the many domesticated breeds we see today.

When I go check on my chicks I call them all "babies". Such as: "Good morning babies." And they all (well some of them) peep back at me.

Awww, thats so cute!!
Mine will squawk non-stop in the morning till i go feed them

I was kidding.
But whoever asked ‘are chickens man made’ likely wasn’t talking about domestication.

They probably were thinking like the mutts from Hunger games or something.

When my chicks were in the brooder, I would say good morning to each of them, and by the time I reached the last chick, I usually just said, "meh, good morning little ones."

I call my chick chirpitys and my older chickens bokitys. I was talking to someone at a public place who had chickens, and I said my bokitys didn’t like mealworms and it seemed like my rooster wanted to lay some eggs, you know, casually talking about our flocks.
Some random woman turned and stared at me. She then continued to say ‘ Chickens aren’t called bokitys. They all like mealworms and they all lay eggs. You should really do some research.’
The guy I was talking to erupted in laughter and we had to explain that I just called them bokitys and no, chickens don’t all like mealworms and an even bigger no, roosters don’t lay eggs.

They act like it when they get a can of tuna.

If I did that, my human children would get confused.
