I'm reviving the thread because I had the same question about whether or not chickens like music. Further Googling brought these results:

 

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/animals-and-us/201110/why-do-chicks-music-why-does-any-one

"Did they show a musical preference? Yes. The animals gravitated toward the speaker playing the pretty music and avoided the side with the dissonant Sex-Pistol-ly chords, even though the tunes were identical in terms of pitch, rhythm, and tempo."

My chickens seem to like my choices... I listen to mostly rock (Slash, 80's hair bands, Apocalyptica, Tool, etc) and they really calm and seem to enjoy it. They always have, ever since they were tiny ^..^

Aschenfire, you should do an experiment too see if egg laying increases if you play them mellow tunes, instead. smile.png
