Hen

A hen is a domesticated bird that has been a favorite of farmers for centuries because of its egg-laying ability. Hens come in different breeds, sizes, and colors, but they all have one thing in common - they are tireless egg-making machines!

Hens are often kept in a group called a flock, and they have a strict pecking order. At the top of the hierarchy is the boss hen, who rules the roost with an iron beak. The boss hen is always the first to eat and the last to leave the nest, and the other hens must obey her every cluck.

Hens are not just good for laying eggs, they also have a great sense of humor. They love to play practical jokes on their owners, such as hiding their eggs in hard-to-find places or pretending to be asleep when it’s time to go back in the coop.

When it comes to diet, hens are not too picky. They will eat just about anything, from corn and grains to bugs and worms. They are especially fond of mealworms, which they consider a delicacy. Some hens even have a taste for sushi, although this is a rare occurrence.

Hens are also known for their distinctive vocalizations. They make a wide range of sounds, from soft clucks to loud cackles. Some hens even have a talent for singing, although their lyrical abilities are mostly limited to the chicken version of “Old MacDonald had a farm.”

In conclusion, the humble hen is a vital member of any farmyard, providing a rich source of protein and entertainment for people of all ages. So next time you see a hen strutting its stuff, don’t forget to give it a little cluck of appreciation!
