Some Interesting Chicken Facts

I went to a "poultry class" tonight at Farmer's Paris Union. I won a door prize of a chicken waterer!  I also learned that a chicken's closest relation is a T-Rex, a yolk is a follicle, hens are born with a set number of eggs (just like human females), an unrefrigerated egg is good for 6 days, the color of a hens earlobes indicate what color eggs she lays, and the shade can be determined by the leg color.

Fascinating!
