Hens, or female chickens, are one of the most commonly found animals on farms all over the world. These amazing birds come in many shapes, sizes and colors, ranging from small bantam hens to large, fluffy ones with feathers that look like they're wearing a pair of pants! Their bodies are covered in feathers and they have a red or pinkish piece of flesh called a comb on top of their heads.  \nFrom their feathery appearance, let's hop over to the topic of what hens munch on.
