Fact of the Day: Chicken Egg
While chickens are well-known to lay eggs, they also are known to eat their own eggs at times. Farmers have prevented them from doing so by deterring them by switching some eggs with golf balls.
They eat each other too... when chicken see a spot of blood they will eat the wounded chicken alive.... that is why some farmers put on them ridiculous small pink glasses so that they wouldn't see red
