Chicken and egg are an infinite loop, yet the mystery that is chicken is greater. Hens are heterogametic so unlike man, rooster has no impact on gender. Chickens see more than we do. They detect slight movements that we cannot, they detect fast movement at twice the rate that we do. The cone density in their eyes is greater than ours, so color perception is greater. Muscles in the eyes allow them to alter the shape of their lens and cornea allowing greater adaption of shape. They see more precisely and with better depth of field. They also see farther into the spectrum than we do. So rich is their vision, and yet their comprehension seems pretty well challenged. Such is life.

I will admit to discussing the expression of art in toolmaking. I did not mention chickens, nor did I draw any chickens myself, nor do I own/raise any chickens... well you can see where I'm going with this.......... Just kidding Bob! Anybody who can draw and make tools is a winner in my book! Skip I will admit to discussing art in our tools with Bob quite extensively.
