Did you know?
Chickens are domesticated fowl descended from Southeast Asian red junglefowl, selected over millennia for egg production, meat, and companionship. Young chicks are covered in downy fluff rather than feathers and are highly social; they chirp constantly to communicate with their mothers and siblings, responding to distinctive calls. Their bright coloring and round shapes have made stylized chick illustrations beloved motifs in children's art, textiles, and crafts for generations—particularly around Easter and springtime celebrations.
