    Chicken Training Stories (Intentional or not!)

    Yes, there is definitely a difference between breeds. My school's ameraucana chicken is an excellent learner so I am hoping to get nantam ameraucanas in the future. I haven't had experience with many breeds but sometimes there are gems in a breed that generally wasn't an excellent trick chicken...
