how does chicken digest it food?

By the gizzard. It purposely swallows small pebbles to aid in crushing grains, corn, seed, plant material bfore pass down to the stomach

Throughout the whole digestion process, food will pass from your mouth to your stomach before finally being processed into waste and expelled from the rectum. You are right that there are two types of digestion that there are two types of digestion, mechanical and chemical. Mechanical include such action as the breaking down of food by chewing with your teeth that forms the food into a pulp and also throughout your whole digestive tract peristalsis helps through the contraction of your intestine, throat and stomach to help food pass through. Chemical digestion involves breaking down of food through chemical means like the amilayse enzyme from salive that coverts starch into maltose. Stomach acids, bile, lipase and various other chemicals secreted by the various organs also include chemical digestion.

The chicken broth actually releases an amino acid in your body with helps fight off the cold.

they want to bind w/ food. it helps get them absorbed.

No, it's unable to digest it properly.  So that would either do nothing for it...or make it really sick.

In humans, digestion begins in the mouth where food is chewed with the teeth. The process stimulates exocrine glands in the mouth to release digestive enzymes such as salivary amylase, which aid in the breakdown of food, particularly carbohydrates. Chewing also causes the release of saliva, which helps condense food into a bolus that can be easily passed through the esophagus. The esophagus is about 20 centimeters long. The food is pushed down by a movement called peristalsis, which is the wave-like contraction of smooth muscle tissue characteristic of the digestive system.\nThe food enters the stomach upon passage through the cardiac sphincter. In the stomach, food is churned and thoroughly mixed with a digestive fluid, composed chiefly of hydrochloric acid, and other digestive enzymes to further decompose it chemically for a few hours. As the acidic level changes in the stomach and later parts of the digestive tract, more enzymes are activated or deactivated to extract and process various nutrients.\nAfter being processed in the stomach, food is passed to the small intestine via peristalsis. It passes through the pyloric sphincter and enters the first 10 inches of the small intestine, the duodenum, where it is further mixed with 3 different liquids, which are bile (which helps aid in fat digestion), pancreatic juice (made by the pancreas), and intestinal juice. They also add several enzymes: maltase, lactase and sucrase, to process sugars. (Bile also contains pigments that are by-products of red blood cell destruction in the liver; these bile pigments are eliminated from the body with the feces.) Most nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine. The nutrients pass through the small intestine's wall, containing small, finger-like structures called villi. The blood, which has absorbed nutrients, is carried away from the small intestine via the hepatic portal vein and goes to the liver for filtering, removal of toxins, and nutrient processing.\nAfter going through the small intestine, the food then goes to the large intestine. The large intestine has 3 parts: the cecum (or pouch that forms the T-junction with the small intestine), the colon, and the rectum. In the large intestine, water is reabsorbed, and the foods that cannot go thorugh the villi such as fiber, can be stored in large intestine. Fiber helps to keep the food moving through the G.I. tract. The food that cannot be broken down is called feces. Feces is stored in the rectum until it is expelled through the anus.\n\n\nIt's long I know, but it's fairly simple words.

In humans, digestion begins in the mouth where food is chewed (mastication) with the teeth. The process stimulates exocrine glands in the mouth to release digestive enzymes such as salivary amylase, which aid in the breakdown of food, particularly carbohydrates. Chewing (mechanical) also causes the release of saliva, which helps condense food into a bolus that can be easily passed through the oesophagus. The oesophagus is about 20 centimeters long.

They also add several enzymes: maltase, lactase and sucrase, to process sugars. Trypsin and chymotrypsin are other enzymes added in the small intestine.

Well,the following processes take place:\n\nfirst of all you eat the plant material( cooked or uncooked.)mechanical digestion takes place in ur mouth i.e. the break down of food by teeth.then chemical digestion takes place;enzyme like salivary amylase breakdown starch into maltose.saliva is mixed with the food and formed into a bolus.then the food is swallowed.the bolus moves down the oesophagus(the food pipe) to the stomach.In the stomach,protein digestion take place(enzymes like protease breakdown protein into amino acids).then the food is carried t the small intestine where protein and carbohydrates are further broken down.Then the small soluble molecules pass through the villi into the blood stream where the nutrients are absorbed into the blood and thus carried to various parts of body.\n\nYa,I know my answer is long....but can't help it.Sorry!

fly's (throw up) on the food they are about to eat. they secrete stomach fluids onto their food so it starts digesting it and then they slurp the digested food and stomach fluids up! yummy.

Chickens will eat both grain and small insects.  Most members of the family Corvidae will eat grains, berries as well as insects, small vertabrates and carrion.  Hope that answers your question.

Starches that are digested into sugars.

I agree with the above answer--- proteins.\neverything that we eat is made up of the basic amino acids or protein that is how we are able to digest them or consume them.

because ligther food is easily digestable

chemical digestion is where your stomach dissovles the food in your mouth by saliva, or when the enzymes and bile break it down in the stomach.\n\nmechanical digestion is when you chew the food using your teeth, adn when your esophagus swallows the food using perastalsis.

I think I have translated your question correctly into, 'Describe the digestion and absorption of eggs (lots of protein), bread (mostly starch) and milk (lots of fat)'.\n\nLook here:

Keep in mind that egg whites are primarily composed of a protein known as ovalbumin.  After you swallow an egg white, a protein-degrading enzyme known as Pepsin is secreted into to the stomach and will begin to digest the protein.  Although protein digestion begins in the stomach, most of the protein will be digested in the early portion of the small intestine, the duodenum.  Once the protein is broken down into amino acids (the building blocks of protein), those acids are absorbed by the small intestine and enter the blood stream.

It is a liquid your body produces to add moisture to food for easier swallowing and contains a solution starts the digestion of the food even before you swallow it.
