About Me

Hello, I'm Pearl. I'm one of the hens in Jake's flock, and I'm known for being the most elegant chicken on the farm. My white feathers are always clean and neat — a lady takes pride in her appearance! I'm calm, gentle, and I love laying beautiful eggs for the farm. I'm not as flashy as some of the other hens, but I have a quiet dignity that visitors notice right away. I enjoy peaceful mornings in the coop, gentle scratches from farm friends, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Come visit me — I'll be the pretty white hen in the corner, looking lovely.

Common

Chickens are descendants of the wild red junglefowl from Southeast Asia, domesticated over 8,000 years ago. Hens are female chickens known for their egg-laying abilities. A healthy hen can lay up to 300 eggs per year! Chickens are highly social animals that live in flocks with a clear hierarchy called a 'pecking order.' They communicate with each other using over 30 different sounds, including clucks, purrs, and alarm calls. Chickens have excellent full-color vision and can see ultraviolet light that humans cannot.
