Hello, I recently discovered that chickens are actually more intelligent than once thought, with reports of them using sticks as tools or hijacking scientific tests. I will be on the look out for more reliable sources, but until then, can you all be on the lookout for anything on this topic? Thank you. Theinfinitenobody (talk) 23:18, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
