The kiwifruit reading group read an article which interviewed a cockatoo owner. They were then given a task to create questions to interview our school chicken expert - Tyler.
Why do chickens not crow?
Boy chickens, called Roosters, crow. Female chickens are called hens. They do not crow.
Why do birds crack open bird seeds and nuts?
It's their diet. Mrs Christiansen said the birds do not like to eat the shells. Theyonly like to eat the insides. The shells are not good for their diet.
Are chickens friendly?
Sometimes, if they are tame.
How big are chicken brains?
About the size of the chicken's eye.
Do chickens go out of their cage?
Yes.
Do chickens like getting rubbed?
Yes, if they are friendly.
Do chickens get their wings cut?
They can. People cut part of the feathers off one wing. Then when they try to fly, they fall back down.
Do chickens fly?
No. They can jump high and flap their wings to go a short distance. But they cannot fly like other birds.
Do chickens drink water?
Yes.
How do chicks hatch out of eggs?
The mother needs to sit on the egg for three weeks (21 days). You also need to have a rooster.
