Chickens are intelligent, curious, well-known animals that live all over the world on farms, in backyards, and even in the wild in rural areas. A part of the bird animal classification group, birds have waterproof, insulating feathers, strong wings for short bursts of flapping, and sharp talons for perching and scratching. Chickens are highly valued for their contributions to pest control and sustainable farming practices, and for providing eggs and meat for humans.
