Are chickens first second or third consumers?

* Producers: Plants are the foundation of the food chain, they are called producers because they make their own food through photosynthesis.

* First-Order Consumers: Herbivores eat plants. This means they are the first consumers in the food chain.

* Second-Order Consumers: Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. However, they primarily eat insects, seeds, and other small animals. Since these animals are herbivores (first-order consumers), the chickens are considered second-order consumers.

* Third-Order Consumers: Predators that eat other carnivores (like a hawk eating a chicken) are considered third-order consumers.
