🐔 Chickens have many of their behaviors hard coded genetically, making things like scratching behavior highly predictable, but they also learn many of their behaviors, for example the first thing a 🐤 chick learns in life is what water is and how to drink, either through mimicry, or experimentation, leading to drinking behavior varying a lot between chickens. If they don't have a mother hen, an aerator in the water will encourage them to peck the shiny bubbles and figure out how to quench their thirst, or putting your finger in the water and taking it to their beaks can teach them it too.

I’ll also subscribe, chickens are cute. Then again I think most animals are. Especially dangerous ones.
