Chickens lay a single egg every 26 hours, but not after 2pm.  The cycle starts again in the morning.

November 14, 1849, the first poultry exhibition in America was held in the Public Gardens, Boston, MA.  Two hundred nineteen exhibitors displayed 1,023 fowls of many breeds and varieties, with more than 10,000 people attending.

"Bantam" means miniature.

There are three types of poultry:  Layers, Meat, and Show.

Nearly half of all broiler (meat chickens) processed in this country are owned by the largest four companies:  Perdue, Con Agra, Tyson, and Gold Kist.
