What stains eggs brown?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Brown eggs are not " stained" brown, they are naturally that colour. Egg shell colours depend on the type and colour of the chicken that laid the egg. White chickens will produce white eggs and brown chickens will lay brown eggs. It's due to the amount of melanin, similar to the difference in human skin colours.

Are chickens farm animals?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many farm children keep a pet chicken. Chickens respond to care and attention.

Keep in mind that a chicken is a bird and not always the brightest creature. A chicken will run to a familiar person, allow itself to be picked up and handled. It will respond to stroking/petting and eat from a recognized hand. An older hen will make clucking sounds of welcome to its "owner" and follow kids around.

Repetitive reward for such behavior is the key to taming a chicken. If a certain behavior results in food or positive action of some kind, a chicken will learn this. My hens learned that the slamming of the screen door in the afternoon means treats from the kitchen are forthcoming; and all run with wings flapping to a certain spot in the yard. They do not respond this way in the morning to the same sound. A chicken cannot be "house trained" or "paper trained" like a puppy or cat. They can be trained to come to a call.

Is newspaper okay to be used as bedding for chickens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Newspaper can be used as bedding for chickens, but it is not as absorbent as other materials such as pine shavings or straw. It can become slick when wet, potentially leading to foot injuries for chickens. It is best to use newspaper in combination with other bedding materials for better absorbency and comfort for the chickens.
