Hens are usually kept in a chicken coop and they love to roam around in open spaces where they can peck for food. Their diet consists of grains, seeds, and insects, but they will also appreciate some kitchen scraps like vegetable peels and bread. Interesting fact, a hen can recognize more than 100 different faces of their species!  \nNow, let's unravel the life cycle of a hen and its  \nrelationship with humans and other animals. The life of a hen begins as a chick inside an egg, and it takes about 21 days to hatch. Hens have been companions to humans for thousands of years, providing us with eggs and meat, and they are often kept on farms or in backyards. While they have a peaceful relationship with most animals, hens need to be protected from predators like foxes and hawks.  \nTime for us to learn about their defenses and how they differ from other bird species. Hens have a sharp beak and strong wings which they can use to peck and flap when they feel threatened. Unlike many birds who can fly high, hens can only fly for short distances, but they are excellent runners.
