It’s been said chickens are technically relatives of T-rex dinosaurs, where became extinct some 65 million years ago. How crazy is that?
Though, it does make sense when you compare their primitive features to today’s more modern birds. Personally, I find them closer to the velociraptor when they make their broody hen dinosaur-like noises.
In our chicken coop you’ll find a wonderful mix of these “dinosaurs” with silkies, Rhode Island reds, Pymouth Rocks, Marans, and Ameraucanas. At some point we’ll introduce more unique species into our small herd, but for now we’re super happy with the choices we’ve made.
When you have chickens it’s so easy to see how so many women get attached to these cute, spunky little birds. Honestly, they make for the perfect spirit animal tattoo and their symbolic meanings are simply all over the place.
I find their hierarchies, aka “pecking order” to symbolic of laying down the law but living in harmony. Not to mention, their ability to remember objects after they are removed, is rather remarkable. Not all living creatures have the mentally ability to recall past objects.
Of course, who could ever forget their fun, fast-running nature which makes them so hard to catch at times? Their 9mph speed runs and sharp, turn-on-a-dime nature, makes them a force of power to reckon with. Speaking of movement, chickens are wonderfully playful too, running, jumping and flying around with the rest of the flock.
Beyond their behavior, chickens are remarkably intelligent creatures and have super-sensory powers.
While don’t have a full 360-degree vision like owls, they did have telescopic eyesight that comes close. Chickens can also understand cause and effect, teach their experiences/knowledge to other birds, and have a fascinating level of self-control.
If you have a deep compassion for your flock, then consider getting a classic chicken silhouette tattoo or perhaps even a cute little egg. The options are endless, and you can easily incorporate a chicken into any farm-themed sleeve tattoo. Take a glance below and discover all sorts of fun, feathered design ideas.
