Description

Hen Party. Painterly effect added with Topaz Simplify layers.

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl. It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs.

A rooster, also known as a cockerel or cock, is a male gallinaceous bird, usually a male chicken (Gallus gallus).

Chickens are omnivores. In the wild, they often scratch at the soil to search for seeds, insects and even animals as large as lizards, small snakes or young mice.

Chickens may live for five to ten years, depending on the breed. The world's oldest chicken was a hen which died of heart failure at the age of 16 according to Guinness World Records. Source: Wikipedia.

A few general characteristics aid in the visual identification of chickens by gender:
-Both roosters and hens have combs and waddles, but those on the male are more prominent
-Rooster tail feathers are often longer, fuller and pointed
-Hen tail feathers are rounded
-Both roosters and hens have spurs, but those on the male are more prominent
In certain breeds, roosters are also larger than hens. Additionally, roosters crow, while hens do not.
