    My hen does not "cluck".

    Blueberries and alot of patience! When you see that tell-tale sign she is ready to let one drop, quickly move her to the box. Once she has dropped, immediate reward. Keep on it. Repetition. She'll figure it out. Similar to training a dog. Except I cannot yell at Chicken.

They do sleep together and the dog grooms her as she would a puppy. I do not have any other chickens.. yet. But when I do take in another bird, I...

    My hen does not "cluck".

    Well.. One thing led to another and I ended up raising a young bird, alongside a motherly dog and a cat.. A year later, I have an awesome little buddy. But she doesn't "cluck". Her usual sounds are soft little squeaks.. She will "caw" like a crow when she is irritated. And "coo" sweetly when...

    people with house chickens

    This is Chicken Nuggets. She has the run of the house. Her "flock" is two humans, a dog, and a cat. Learns commands as easily as a dog (if tempted with blueberries) She has more personality than most people I know.
