legend21 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi all, my son tells me chickens have no sense of smell, is this true? Just wondered it would make sense considering all the stuff that goes into their feed, garlic, limestone flour, poultry spice etc, but not sure if he is just havering or if true. thank you Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yes they can smell. Also chooks have a sense combining taste and smell ( particularly to avoid harmful things) with their beaks which is why it is sooooooooooooooooo cruel to debeak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
