Chickens are interesting creatures to watch as they scratch, peck and poke at the ground.They like to stay together in their flock, watched over by the male cockerell.

Chickens are omnivores – they love seeds, insects and even larger animals such as lizards or young mice. |
 |
They live together in flocks. Each flock will establish a “pecking order” for the best food and nests. |

The natural laying season runs from March to October and follows the patterns of daylight. |

Hens love to peck and scratch on the ground for their food. You may even see one laying an egg in the hen house followed by a loud shrieking noise! |
