Chickens and hens are the same thing but they are called different names for unknown reasons. Chickens are one of the most widespread and domesticated animals that live on farms and barn yards around the world. As of today the population count for chickens and or hens is now around twenty eight billion world wide. Here in America as well as other parts of the world, people mainly use chickens as a source of food. Not only is the chicken’s meat consumed, people use their eggs as well for all kinds of things like baking cakes, making omelets and even some really tasty scrambled eggs. Hens come in a variety of colors and sizes ranging from all white, all brown, beige, multi colored, and even sometimes black. If you think about it I guess it is pretty sad that we eat chickens and or hens for means of food, but I guess that is what they are here for right? Chickens have a diet that consists of seed, corn, insects. Chickens that live in the wild are known to eat mice and even lizards. Weird huh? Well I guess that does it for now I will leave you to this tutorial on “how to draw a hen, chicken step by step”. The chicken is drawn in a very simple format, just like a cartoon to be exact.
