Chickens do not forget...

Hi,

I cannot believe the memory my chickens have! Several days ago, I fed them some canned corn as a treat. I was at a door that does not go into their run and I dropped a few kernels on the ground. Now every time I open that door, they are furiously jumping out looking for that darned corn!

The Silkies are the worst "offenders" but, luckily, they are easy to handle and I can just "scoop them up" and return them to the coop. They are too funny!

Oh yes- I know that any time I walk out the door with anything in my hands I will be mobbed by the horde.

Their memory is a lot better then they've been given credit for. Especially when it comes to goodies to eat!!!

They can sense fear too. They jump at my daughter everytime she goes in the run and she starts screaming.

Average time for a chickens memory is 2 weeks.
