Empathy in chickens

Empathy is when you feel what other living beings are feeling. Do you know what chickens are? They are birds that people often keep on farms to lay eggs and later eat them. They are very interesting creatures and scientists have discovered that they feel empathy just like humans.

So when a chicken sees another chicken in pain or hurt, the first chicken feels sad and wants to help the other chicken. Just like when you see your friend crying, you might feel sad too and want to help them feel better. Chickens can also feel happy and excited when they see their chicken friends having fun and enjoying themselves.

Isn't that amazing? Even though chickens are not like us humans, they can still understand other chicken's emotions and help them when they're feeling down. We should always remember to treat all living things with kindness and empathy.
