"Can Chickens See in the Dark? This is What Research Says"

"Like most bird species, chickens have their eyes positioned on the sides of their heads, not in front. Additionally, as diurnal animals, their vision is primarily oriented toward seeing during the day. But how well can they see at night? Some interesting facts about chicken vision will be discussed below!"

Can Chickens See in the Dark? Here's What Research Says

"Overall, chickens cannot see well at night at all. Although their tetrachromatic vision is strong enough to allow them to see ultraviolet light, they have very poor night vision."

"This is primarily due to the fact that they have very few and underdeveloped cone cells in their eyes, making them less sensitive to vision in low light."

"Clearly, chickens certainly outperform humans in terms of color perception. Although we humans have trichromatic vision, chickens have tetracromatic vision. This means they are capable of seeing a much broader color spectrum (including UV light) compared to us."

The Reason Chickens and Birds Do Not Have Sharp Night Vision like Mammals.

"Unfortunately, due to convergent evolution and the way chickens (and most other birds) have evolved since the time of the dinosaurs compared to our era and mammals, they have never evolved to have highly sensitive night vision. As a result, the rod and cone cells in their eyes are underdeveloped, and they cannot see well in the dark."

Sure! Here’s the translation while preserving the HTML tags: "Simplistically, the rod cells and cone cells in the eyes of animals are largely responsible for color perception and light differentiation. They act as photoreceptors, capturing light and converting it into electrical signals through a process called phototransduction. According to Mike the Chicken Veterinarian, chickens have very few cones, and they are not very sensitive. Cone cells work by rapidly responding to changes in light intensity and can enhance the overall visual acuity of the animals."

The translation of "Keajaiban Penglihatan Ayam" to English is "The Wonder of Chicken Vision."

"chickens have tetracromatic vision with a double cone structure in their eyes. This makes them very well suited to quickly detect changes in color and movement around them, although not as well as predatory birds such as, for example, eagles and hawks."

The dual-cone structure that is sensitive to movement also greatly helps chickens to recognize food such as insects. In fact, chickens have very complex vision. They have evolved to have better vision for seeing during the day and detecting movement compared to at night.
