Introduction
Chickens are one of the most popular
domesticated animals in the world.
They are kept for their meat, eggs, and
feathers. There are many different
types of chickens, each with their own
unique characteristics and uses.
Broilers
Broilers are raised for their meat. They
grow very quickly and have a high
meat-to-bone ratio. They are
commonly used in fast food
restaurants and for commercial meat
production.
Egg Layers
Egg layers are kept for their ability
to produce eggs. They are smaller
and slimmer than broilers. They are
commonly used in commercial egg
production and can lay up to 300
eggs per year.
Bantams
Bantams are miniature chickens.
They are kept for their ornamental
value and as pets. They come in a
variety of breeds and colors and are
popular for their unique
personalities and small size.
