DecoBird Pecking Chick

The domesticated chicken descends from red junglefowl, which is the ancestor of all domestic chicken breeds. Chickens are active animals with an intense curiosity that drives them to explore their surroundings. Scratching, pecking, and dust bathing are ingrained in their nature. Hens are intelligent and exhibit individual and characteristic behaviours. These feathered creatures show impressive care towards their chicks. The hen incubates her eggs for three weeks, after which the eggs hatch and transform into petite, lively chicks.

The pecking chick is a food enthusiast: it pecks at grass, insects, grains, and bits of gravel. The gravel is necessary as it cannot chew very well, but the stomach muscles grind the food with the help of the gravel.
