In this episode of CritterCast, we strut into the wacky world of chickens! Did you know that chickens outnumber people 4-to-1? Or that chickens are probably more closely related to dinosaurs than modern day reptiles are? We diss on all the cool chicken facts, and because we know by the end of the episode you will LOVE chickens as much as us…we also share some information on how you can help contribute to bettering the lives of chickens everywhere. You can now check out some resources on buying ethically sourced eggs/meat on our “Save the Critters” webpage!
