History through the eyes of a chicken

Title:
History through the eyes of a chicken
Speaker:
Chris A. Kniesly
Description:

The Ancient Egyptian king Thutmose III described the chicken as a marvelous foreign bird that "gives birth daily." Romans brought them on their military campaigns to foretell the success of future battles. Today, this bird occupies a much less honorable position – on dinner plates. Chris Kniesly explains the evolving role of chickens throughout history. [TED-Ed Animation by Mark Phillips].
