    Chickens are domesticated birds that provide people with meat and eggs. They can live up to 15 years and some are kept as pets. Research has shown that chickens are smarter than previously believed - they can remember, learn, dream, understand others' feelings, and perform basic math. Chickens vary in size from 2 to 8 pounds, have combs on their heads and fleshy wattles under their necks. Their gizzard, a muscular part of their stomach, grinds food like teeth since birds do not have teeth.

    Chickens
    Chickens are domestic birds. Chickens provide
    people with meat and eggs. Some people also keep
    chickens, which can live as long as 15 years, as pets.
    Chickens are smarter than most people think. Scientists
    researching chickens have found that they can
    remember and learn from past events, dream,
    understand and share the feelings of others, and even do math!
    Chickens can be as little as two pounds or as big as eight pounds
    or more. They have reddish combs on their heads and two reddish
    fleshy growths called wattles under their necks. Birds don’t have
    teeth. The food they eat gets ground up in a part of their stomach
    called the gizzard. The gizzard is mostly muscle, and it has a rough
    inner surface that grinds the food and breaks it down like mammals
    do with their teeth when they chew.
