Okay, I've done some googling and some searching on the forums and I haven't found this discussed. I'm thinking I just missed it?

Why are chickens attracted to red? We had this discussion at the table last night - what possible adaptation would this be? Eating bloody carcasses?

I noticed that the Grow Gel is bright green - that makes sense - eating fresh greens.

Are they actually attracted to certain colors or just bright colors?

We (homeschooler of 4) might just have to set up a color panel and do a little experiment - however right now we are drastically behind on the garden weeding.....
