The Anatomy and Physiology of the Chicken

So good to have all this information in one article. I will say it took me longer to read it as I would read then look at the diagram and so on. Many many facts I did not know. Thank you for compiling this for us.

Thank you for this! It’s really helpful. Our first girls were RIRs and it was much easier for me to identify certain parts of their anatomy than it is for me to identify things on our two new Ameraucanas. They are just so different-looking! Your diagram really helped! It was better than ones I could find when I searched for chicken diagrams on the internet. Now I think I know what I’m looking at on my Ameraucana ladies!

Fantastic article! Thank you for taking the time to lay this information out.
