I have chickens they are sweet as can be. Sit on my lap to be petted. Different breeds different temperaments.

suhavi, Just because you are smart with math doesn't mean you know everything. You can do reading without math, but you can't do math without reading.

When linking 2 complete sentences with “however,” you need a semicolon to separate them: (…; however,…) and a comma after however.

Player SIAMEZER CAT , SIAMEZR CAT my grandmother who was born in the later 1800s always used to say that math was everything in every person's everyday life and as I've gotten older I realize that now I don't know if you're aware but Pluto has a Star Talk channel and it's host is Neil deGrasse Tyson along with many guests love the way what episode brought out math in every aspect of life I like to think math is the music of the Stars

“silly”…. hens are just female chickens; roosters are male chickens. Like cows are female or bulls are male when you talk about beef…

Joey, different meaning; very gendered and implies a dynamic between two people, not the social hierarchy of multiple or many people or animals within a group. (Even a pack of dogs can be said to have a ‘pecking order’ for example.)

Player SIAMEZER CAT, different meaning. And many, if not most, birds engage in some kind of pecking.

I have hens but no roosters. One of the hens takes on the rooster role and dominates all the others (by pecking them).
