Welcome to The Chook House, Run by chicken lovers and Vegans. Don’t expect us to post up how to cook a roast chicken cause your not gonna see it here. Don’t follow us if you eat chickens and still say that you love them because thats bullshit. If you can look a chicken in the face and say you love her, then you cannot eat her or condone her suffering or the suffering of her family. This blog will be all about chickens because as the name implies it is a Chook house full of chickens! If you have a question, by all means ask away. Thanks Here are some amazing chicken facts. We don't know if they are all true but they are certainly interesting. Chickens were domesticated about 8000 years ago Chickens are not capable of sustained flight Chickens can travel up to nine miles per hour The longest distance flown by a chicken is 301 1/2 feet There are over 150 kinds of domestic chickens It takes 4lbs + of feed to make a dozen eggs There are over 450 million chickens in the United States alone ! Americans consume a average of 8 billion chickens each year ! China has over 3,000,000,000 chickens and over 10,000,000,000 horses There are more chickens in the world than any domesticated bird Chickens are the closest living relative to the Tyrannosaurus-Rex There are more than one chicken for every person on the face of the earth A rooster takes a average of 20 breaths a minute, a hen averages around 30 breaths a minute All chickens can be genetically traced to the Red Jungle Fowl The greatest number known of yolks in one egg is nine The known record for chicken laying the most eggs in one day is a total of seven In the United States chickens produce around eighty millions eggs a year! It takes a hen around 24 hours to lay a egg It takes 21 days for a chick to hatch Alektorophobia is the name given to " the fear of chickens "
A bed and breakfast owner who reckons he has found the world’s smallest hen’s egg confessed he took it in his pocket to show his pals at the pub. Paul Rae found the 20p piece-sized egg on Sunday morning alongside three normal-sized ones in his henhouse at the business he runs with wife Margaret in Humshaugh, Northumberland. He is hoping to get confirmation that his is the smallest egg, beating a previous claim which weighed 7.3g, as his is just 5g, 2.5cm high and 2cm across.
I’m going to the store to go tape these on as many chicken nugget boxes as I can before I get caught. I suggest you do something similar, it’s pretty fun.
If you do it every time you go to the store, it’s bound to make a tiny impact in people. Not everyone, but someone. If it gets just one person thinking, it’s so worth it.
Send me pictures and I will post them up.
