πŸ”1. Chickens have great memories & can recognize over 100 faces:
Everyone with backyard chickens can attest to the fact that their chickens know them and each member of their family. They can even recognize different animals too, such as your dogs and cats. Chickens also remember places and different members of their flock, even after months apart.

πŸ‚2. Chickens have strong color vision:
Many believe that chickens have poor vision and are colorblind, but in fact, their color vision is better than humans due to a well-organized eye with five types of light receptors enabling them to see many colors in any given part of the retina.

🐀3. They dream when they sleep:
Chickens, like humans and other mammals, have a REM (rapid eye movement) phase of sleeping, which signifies dreaming. However, they also have another sleep phase that humans lack, called USWS (unihemispheric slow-wave sleep), where one half of the brain is sleeping while the other half is awake. Chickens can literally sleep with one eye open, an evolutionary adaptation that lets that watch for predators while they slumber.

πŸ‚4. Chickens have complex communication with specific meanings:
Chickens are capable of at least 30 different vocalizations and each one means something specific. They alert each other to food, call young chicks, purr in contentment, and warn other flock members of predators. Mother hens even talk to their babies when they are still in the egg with soft purrs. The unborn chicks respond with soft, high-pitched peeps.

πŸ”5. Egg color is determined by genetics:
A hen’s breed indicates what color egg she will produce. For example, Leghorn chickens lay white eggs while Orpington’s lay brown eggs and Ameraucanas produce blue eggs. Typically a chicken’s egg color can be determined by its earlobe color.

πŸ‚6. Chickens are technically dinosaurs:
Chickens evolved from dinosaurs and are the closest living relative to the magnificent T. rex. One lineage of dinosaurs survived the mass extinction 65 million years ago, the birds, so chickens (and all birds) are actual dinosaurs. However, chickens are definitely the most primitive and β€˜dinosaur-like’ than any of our modern birds. Just watching them run and some of the sounds they make, (I’m talking to you, broody hen) you can see a very distinct velociraptor.

🐀7. There are more than 25 billion chickens in the world:
There are more chickens than any other bird species on Earth and they also outnumber humans 4 to 1.

πŸ‚8. Chickens are a lot smarter than you think:
Recent studies have shown that chickens are intelligent creatures with many traits similar to those of primates. Chickens can demonstrate complex problemsolving skills and have super-sensory powers (such as telescopic eyesight and almost 360-degree vision like owls). They comprehend cause and effect, pass on their knowledge, demonstrate self-control, and even worry.

πŸ”9. Chickens teach each other:
Mother hens teach their chicks not to eat grains that could be bad from them, where to find food, and how to forage. Chickens also copy each other’s behaviors, as chicken keepers well know, if you can get one chicken to do something you want, they will all follow suit.

πŸ‚10. They like to play:
Not surprising as intelligent creatures, chickens can often be found playingβ€” running, jumping, and jousting with others in the flock.

🐀11. Chickens can fly and run fast:
They can’t fly long distances, but enough to get up high in a tree or go over a fence for better foraging. They can run up to 9 mph in short bursts, but their real power is they can turn on a dime. This speed and agility helps keep them safe from predators.

πŸ‚12. Chickens can comprehend object permanence:
When an object is taken away or hidden from view, chickens still know that object exists. Chicks as young as 2 days old have shown object permanence, where as human babies don’t develop this skill until they are about 6 months old. Not many animals even have this ability at all.

About Shengxiao Eggs

Shengxiao eggs have a rather sophisticated appearance about them. They are as fragile as they are beautiful.

About the Shengxiao Creature

An ancient species of landfowl, the Shengxiao was first domesticated thousands of years ago by an early Arkian civilization. The purpose of its introduction is presumed to have been in response to predators targeting livestock; underneath a Shengxiao's elegant exterior is a carefully-crafted muscular system capable of delivering powerful strikes with its razor-sharp spurs. The unsuspected offensive capacity of Shengxiao helps to dissuade the predators most commonly found patrolling farmlands.

Very strict regulations have been implemented on Shengxiao usage and breeding because of the sacred connotations associated with it. Not only is the slaughter and consumption of Shengxiao considered heavily taboo on the island, it is punishable by law.

Grand-scale festivals are held near the beginning of each new year as a means to pay tribute to the Shengxiao.
