Chickens and music

[Nardo]

Do you think playing the right kind of music could make the chickens more broody?

I do not know. I wonder if there has been any research on that specific topic?

Maybe it would work with geese too.... I have a hen that is semi-broody.... I think I might try...

OK...

I tried playing a few Chopin etudes.... Here is the result:

1. If the music was loud or fast and loud (not volume but just the music itself) the chickens, (especially one chicken) would get nervous...

2. If the music was calm so were the chickens...

3. At the end of each piece the rooster would crow!

Who else would like to try...?
