About chickens a question

Have never had a chicken sit still long enough to count ;)

It's a little hard to count when they get all flustered and get their feathers in a bunch

From answerbag.com --

The number of feathers a bird has depends very much on its size and where and how it lives, in general a third of a birds feathers are on its head.

The bird with the least feathers is the Ruby Hummingbird Archilochus colubris with only 940 feathers in total

The bird with the most feathers is the Whistling Swan Cygnus columbianus which can have as many as 25,000 during winter.

So how many do chickens normally have?
