Question: Are chickens intelligent because people say they are but they don't act it?? x

Intelligence is a relative thing.

So maybe they’re intelligent compared to the size of their brain.
But compared to other animals I wouldn’t say chickens rank that high.

The last chicken I saw thought it was a good idea to peck my dog… it had to fly away pretty fast, so that chicken at least wasn’t very intelligent.
