Article Evaluation

"Empathy in chickens"

Content -All of the content is very relevant however the article is very sparse and does not go in to great detail in its subheadings. The subheadings "Scientific Evidence", "Applications" and " Other opinions" could be improved and updated with more information. -There does not appear to be any information that is out of date.

Tone - The tone appears to be fairly neutral towards the subject matter however the section "Other opinions" which briefly indicates that there are individuals that do not believe that chickens in fact have empathy but does not elaborate. this viewpoint is extremely underrepresented and expanding this section to include more information or reasoning on this viewpoint would help improve this articles bias and neutrality by presenting the other side of the article in a balanced and full manner.

Sources -The article appears to be well and properly cited and all links to citations work. -Each fact is referenced with appropriate and reliable sources which do not appear to be biased.

Talk Page -The conversations on the Talk page are not recent but in the past discussed the inaccuracy of the page and how it should be merged with the article "Emotions in Animals" - This article is part of the WikiProject : Poultry and is rated Start-class

A solid foundation for a well informed, thorough article but needs to be greatly expanded to include more information and to balance viewpoints.
