That's my friend Linda! She just lives about 20 mins away from me. She's a member of BYC and has really done some amazing work.

so cool! maybe she'd be willing to give me some pointers, lol. the darn pet store i went to today didn't have clickers
will have to find one.
Awesome!
That was really intersting! I have done some clicker training on my dogs. I'm going to start working on my chickens!!
I would like more info on how to start. I would love to do this with some of my babies!

my first thing to do on my next day off is get my hands on a clicker! will share my (if any, lol) progress!
If you can't find a clicker, just use a snapple cap, they can click pretty loud if you get it just right, I think that would work too.
BTW...that was an awesome video! Can't wait to get my chicks!!!

You don't actually need a clicker to train chickens if you don't have one. Just movements or words they can learn to respond to. Takes a hundred or so repetitions and they'll get it pretty well. They are creatures of habit. Had a 8 week old silkie recognizing colors and shapes to get treats. Just offer treat as soon as it hits the right shape, and only offer for the right behavior.

snapple cap! and i could enjoy the spoils. good idea
meal worms and spaghetti noodles are my chooks' favorite things. i'm pretty sure they'd do ANYTHING for either one. just as long as my brown leghorn doesn't hop up and steal all the treats. she knows what's up.
