Chickens have truly extraordinary eyesight! Here are some fun facts about our feathered friends' vision:
UV Vision: Chickens can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which helps them spot subtle differences in their environment that we humans can't see.
Sharp Eyes: They have excellent visual acuity, meaning they can see fine details very well. Imagine having built-in binoculars!
Wide Field of View: With eyes on the sides of their heads, chickens have a 300-degree field of view. They can see almost everything around them without turning their heads.
Color Vision: Chickens can see a wide range of colors, making their world a vibrant place full of hues we can only dream of.
Movement Detection: Their eyes are super sensitive to movement, perfect for spotting predators or finding a tasty bug.
Share if you think chickens are cooler than we thought!
