They also need to eat grit (bits of dirt and stone) to help them digest their food.	Click here to learn about real chickens! See how they are raised on a real farm.

Can you name an animal (other than a chicken) which lays eggs ?		Chickens spend most of their time grazing, roosting, and laying eggs. Even though they have wings, they rarely fly. They are not very active animals.
