can a chicken come when called

[chickenmama109]

i would love for my chickens to come when called but how would i
teach them to come

bring them vegie scraps or scratch grain enough times and say "come on chicks" or whatever you want to call them and they will come running, mine come running as soon as they see me in the yard even if I don't have anything lol

Yes, food bribes accompanied with a call or "song" and they will soon make a paired association. You'll get the whole flock charging your way in no time!

I got my 4 hens when they were 3 days old.We named them and always call them by name when we enter the coop,pick them up etc.We keep BOSS and dried mealworms in clear Osarka water bottles so they see it before we can open the container they are crowding each other and jostling for position to get their treat.They are now about 1 year old and will individually come to me when I call except for Molly-she is the only Easter Egger and still skittish.
