At the Zoo, you'll see lions, elephants, and great apes, but did you know that you'll also see...chickens?! Yes, chickens! They roam around the Zoo and help us in many ways, including with pest control and by sitting on eggs of other birds that are first time parents and sometimes unsure about how to lay on their own eggs.
