Chicken Of The Month

By Rachel 10 April 2015

 

Here at Get Laid beds we have decided to celebrate a different chicken each and every month.  Many people won’t know about the breed diversity and we hope to show just how fascinating chickens can actually be.

This month we are crowning the most well known of chickens which are the most common and the closest descendants of the first domesticated birds.

In the most recent headcount there was estimated to be around 19 billion chickens in the world which is almost three chickens for every Human being!

Although predominantly bred for Eggs and their meat chickens also make great pets.  They have been domesticated for more than 10,000 years.  Not only can they become great companions but they are ideal to get rid of unwanted bugs and insects.

If you’re looking for a new friend why not adopt an ex-battery hen.  These ladies have worked hard their whole life in far from ideal conditions and deserve a retirement home with lots of space to stretch their wings and a loving family.

If you’re not in a position to re-home a chicken you could always sponsor one and help towards their golden years.

Look out next month for another Chicken of the month.
