Chicken Coop

Matt Sigel watches chickens fly from their coop on his farm in Laramie, Wyoming. Scientists say that chickens are cognitively advanced: They live in hierarchical societies, do basic math, and experience emotions. The image was taken for a story in the February 2018 issue on the intelligence of birds.
