Have you ever owned chickens? Seriously having had chickens I feel less bad about eating them then I did before. I cant think of a less intelligent creature. They do not at all compare to some of the parrots that I had that were pretty darn smart

I have six chickens right now. While I don't disagree that they aren't /that/ smart, I think it's fascinating how little we know about chickens. The survey paper this article links to is a worthwhile read from that perspective.
