How chickens eat - their digestive system explained

We all know chickens don't have teeth. So how do they manage to eat and digest hard food like whole corn or sunflower seeds? Let's take a tour through their digestive system and learn
- what they use instead of teeth
- why cecal droppings smell so bad
- how her cropful of food gets digested while she's resting, so supper is more important than breakfast, and the size of her crop varies,
- the danger of leaving small sharp objects around the chicken coop,
- and why supper is more important to a chicken than breakfast.
The chicken digestive system is different from ours and other mammals - yes, chickens sure are amazing!
