" That’s right: In multiple tests of cognitive and behavioral sophistication, chickens outperform not just dogs and cats but four-year-old human children. Explains the University of Bristol’s Dr. Christine Nicol, author of the review paper titled The Intelligent Hen, “[s]tudies over the past 20 years have… revealed their finely-honed sensory capacities, their ability to think, draw inferences, apply logic and plan ahead.” The paper includes dozens of examples of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional complexity in chickens-all examples of the animals exhibiting capacities that cannot be explained by simple instinct."
