The Chicken is one of the most wide-spread domesticated animals. Having more than 24 billion individuals, there are more chickens on Earth than any other bird. Primarily a source of food, from both their meat and their eggs, chicken are also sometimes kept as pets. Males are known as roosters, and females hens, and together chickens form flocks. Contrary to popular belief, roosters do not only crow at dawn, since the call is a territorial sign to other roosters, they may crow at any time of day or night.
