Professor Discovers Hidden Depths in Chicken Intelligence
Christine Nicol, (Bristol University professor of animal welfare) reviewed 20 years of research on the topic of chicken intelligence said it is wrong to think of chickens as being stupid stating that they have many hidden depths’. Chickens were given a choice between two or three plastic eggs, they would inevitably choose the more eggs. Even when researchers would move the eggs from one group to another the birds would choose the larger group. Newborn baby chicks could keep track of numbers up to five, indicating cognitive and mathmatical abilities. In further experiments the chickens showed more interest in a diagram of objects which could be built rather than one that defied the law of physics. The birds were able to understand that even if an object was moved out of their view it still exists. This study showed that human children are usually around a year old when they are able to grasp this same concept. Other traits discovered in this study demonstrated that chickens show basic empathy, can plan ahead, and self control which was proven in one study where 93% of the hens were given food for a longer period of time if they waited longer to get it (McRae,2).

Chicken Heaven On Earth Rescue Sanctuary Needs Your Help
Rev. Penny Dean with Lil' Snowball & Sweet Pea.
How to help our rescued chickens and small animals:
We are currently in need of feed, supplies, medical care for rescued chickens, dogs, cats, and other animals at our sanctuary and an expansion so we can purchase a larger farm. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. We don't keep them in tiny cages like most traditional animal shelters do. All of the birds and animals at Chicken Heaven On Earth are free range on almost 2 acres after they are vetted, dewormed, neutered, spayed, and kept parasite free in a safe farm environment.
How you can help us grow and become self sustainable:
Each year we are pushed to our limits taking in rescued chickens and other small animals. Funding is few and far between. We have created a business plan to help Chicken Heaven On Earth Sanctuary grow and be able to support itself at the same time as a sustainable free range egg production, growing fruits and vegetables to sell, raising honey bees, as well as, small rental houses, and basically becoming a viable and financial commercial farming operation with truly free range happy chickens with no battery cages that live out their lives with no stress or fear of being eaten.. The amount needed to accomplish this goal is $300, 000.00. Any amount would be greatly appreciated--Every dollar counts toward our goal.
Payments can be made securely via Paypal: https://paypal.me/pools/c/83wwtILbKR
