Examples
Chickens are domestic or farm birds. The live span of a
chicken is about 10 to 15 years. The male is larger and more
brightly colored than the female. This is common feature in
birds. The males show off their colorful feathers to attract the
females.
A chicken has a comb on the head and two wattles under the
neck. The male has a larger comb compared to the female. The
male is called a rooster. The female is called a hen while the
young are called chicks. The female is usually ready to lay her
first eggs when she is around six months old.
