Mia has six female chickens, raw fruit scraps, raw vegetable scraps, and cooked vegetable scraps. She can compare the consumption rate of cooked and raw vegetable scraps, and the selection frequency of raw fruit and raw vegetable scraps using the available supplies. She doesn't have male chickens or bread scraps, so she can't test those.

Answer:

1. Do the chickens eat cooked vegetable scraps faster than they eat raw vegetable scraps?
2. Do the chickens select raw fruit scraps more often than raw vegetable scraps?
