Quest of Life The BestZOO has a room where you can see and touch young chicks like these. Although they may trigger a definite "awwwwww" response, I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. The lucky ones are roughly handled by children all day long, the unlucky ones end up as food for several birds of prey that the park has. Good luck buddy, I hope you beat the odds.

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated junglefowl species, with attributes of wild species such as the grey and the Ceylon junglefowl that are originally from Southeastern Asia. Rooster or cock is a term for an adult male bird, and a younger male may be called a cockerel. A male that has been castrated is a capon. An adult female bird is called a hen and a sexually immature female is called a pullet.
