Chickens carry diverse symbolic meanings across cultures. They are often associated with positive concepts like life, nurturing, and community. However, in Western culture, the term “chicken” is sometimes used to describe cowardice.

In folklore, chickens are believed to predict the weather, showcasing their perceived mystical abilities. Eggs laid by chickens are symbols of fertility, renewal, and the cycle of life. They are also used in various rituals for positive outcomes.

Interestingly, chickens are quite intelligent. They can remember and recognize over 100 different faces, whether human or animal, aiding in their social interactions and group dynamics.

While chickens don’t have teeth, they do possess the genetic capability to grow them. Scientists have managed to activate these genes, causing embryos to develop basic, peg-like teeth similar to those of crocodiles. However, these teeth are not functional and do not allow the chicks to survive to hatching.
