A collection of chicken ethograms

Ethogram-An ethogram is a catalogue or inventory of behaviours or actions exhibited by an animal.

This one was on caged chickens

This one was for broilers specifically but I was interested in the fact that this was one of the few ones that acknowledged chicken play behavior. Food-running is what we chicken keepers like to call Chicken Football or Tag lol
