Chicken

The chicken is one of the most common domestic animal

These are kept by human as a source of food, with their eggs and meat

Adult male chickens are known as roosters and female over a year are known as hens and younger chickens are known as pullets

Both of them have wattles and combs which help to cool the bird by redirecting blood flow to the skin

Comb is a fleshy crest on their heads and wattles is a hanging flap of skin either side under their beaks

Chickens are gregarious birds and live together as a group of birds

They may live upto 5 to 11 years depending on their breed

Facts About Chicken

Domestic chickens are not capable to fly for long distance
Domestic chickens feed on seeds and insects but wild chicken can eat even lizards and young mice
Special breed hens lay about 300 eggs in a year They incubate their eggs and raise young ones A mother hen turns her egg approximately 50 times in a day This is so the yolk does not stick to the shell Hen takes 24-26 hours to lay an egg Chicken lays different colours of eggs, depending on the hen, typically ranging from bright white to shades of brown and even blue, green, and recently reported purple
Hen takes 4 pounds of feed to make 1 dozen eggs
Chicken take 21 days to hatch
The chicken can travel up to 9 miles per hour
Roosters may crow at any time of the day or night but hens cluck loudly after laying an egg, and also to call their chicks
Their egg laying ability starts decreasing after a year and they are killed for human consumption
Roosters are differentiated from hens by their striking plumage, marked by long flowing tails and shiny, pointed feathers on their necks and backs Rooster’s necks and backs are even differently coloured from hens

Pigeon

Pigeon are domestic, stout-bodied birds with short necks and short slender bills with a fleshy beak

They live in nests and the nests are made of sticks

Both the sexes incubate their eggs in there nest

They produce crop milk, which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop

A crop is a thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract used for the storage of food prior to digestion

Both the sexes produce crop milk to feed their young ones

Facts:

Pigeons commonly live to be 15 years old The record is 33 years
The World famous Disney World of Orlando maintains a loft of pigeons They release hundreds of pigeons in the park daily
Pigeons can fly up to 40 or 50 miles per hour and may fly as far as 600 miles a day
Pigeons very in size from 7 ounces to well over 3 pounds The wing span can be as short as 12 inches and as long as three and a half feet
The common pigeon was imported by early settlers as food animals and to serve as carriers of messages
They are closely related to doves
Pigeons are gregarious and tend to be found in small flocks of around twenty to thirty birds
They feed on seeds and grains
They construct their nest out of small sticks in natural habitat or in buildings
They reproduce throughout the year, even during winter, and can raise four or five broods annually The female usually lays two white eggs and both the sexes incubate their eggs in there nest
Incubation takes about 16 to 19 days and the young one are feed with crop milk secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop
They have colorful, iridescent neck feathers which are called a "hackle"
Pigeons that are all white are usually albinos
Adults have orange or reddish orange eyes Juveniles that are less than six to eight months old have medium brown or grayish brown eyes
They have excellent eyesight, they also can see ultraviolet light – part of the light spectrum that humans can’t see
They suck up water, using their beaks like straws
They seem to be able to detect the Earth’s magnetic fields This magnetic sensitivity, along with the ability to tell direction by sun, seems to help pigeons find their way home
