We watched this BBC documentary yesterday on YouTube "The Private Life of Chickens"

Have any of you seen this. Once interesting thing they talked about is what fast learners chickens are. They claimed chickens sometimes faster learners than dogs.

So I was curious who had interesting stories of smart chickens they have had?

my experience:

I do notice my girls learn pretty fast, especially when it involves food. After digging up my garden once, and they finding grubs, now I cannot stick a shovel in the ground without them all running up to me and crowding me, and its hard to get any digging done

I saw it a couple months ago. I thought it was great. They have one on the private life of cows and one on pigs.
It turns out, chickens are smarter than cows.
