From greetings to warnings, chickens use over 30 different types of sound to communicate with each other? They are very sociable creatures and live according to a clear hierarchy, also known as a 'pecking order'. They are real experts at laying eggs and a chicken lays an egg nearly every day. It's only in winter, when it's cold, that they lay fewer eggs. Their eggs are not just brown or white, but there are also 'blue', 'green' and even 'olive' ones, according to the breed that lays them.
