Chickens 🐤🐤🐤
We have lots of different types of chickens at our place.
A boy chicken is called a rooster and a girl is called a hen.
Can you tell which photo is a hen and which photo is a rooster?
The first photo is rooster and the second photo is a hen.
Roosters are bigger than hens and they crow (make a loud noise) and they have a different comb (thing on the top of the head.
These chickens are called Silkies and this is a type of bantam
This is a Pekin hen she is also a bantam.
Bantam means small breed of chicken
This is a white leg horn rooster. He is much bigger.
This Silkie hen is on her nest, hopefully she is laying a egg.
She might go broody soon.
Broody means she will stay on her nest most of the time and I can put some eggs under her and breed some chicks (baby chickens).
Eggs need to be under the hen for 3 weeks to hatch.
Our chicken like to eat wheat like the hen in the story.
Here is my chicken drawing.
I put labels on the feet, legs beak, eyes, comb, wings and tail.
Did you know that Silkie chickens have 5 toes ( Other types of chickens only have 4 toes)
