Chickens, also known as hens or chicks in their early stages, have their origins in Southeast Asia, where they were first domesticated from the red junglefowl around 8,000 years ago. Widely kept across the United Kingdom, these birds have distinctive physical traits including colorful plumage — with males often being more vibrant — and fleshy crests called combs on their heads. Their combs and wattles help regulate temperature, making them well-adapted to various climates. Chickens exhibit unique behaviours, such as dust bathing to maintain feather health and establishing a social pecking order within flocks. Known for their friendly temperament, they are suitable for backyard poultry keepers seeking both egg production and companionship. Popular in the UK for keeping live chickens, many enthusiasts search for "chickens for sale" or "hens for sale near me" to start their flocks. Whether you are buying baby chicks or point of lay chickens for egg-laying, chickens are versatile and hardy birds, thriving in free-range or well-managed environments. Their care involves providing shelter, nutrition, and protection from predators, making them a rewarding choice for both beginners and experienced poultry keepers alike.
