Did you know that chickens can learn tricks??

[Keltara]

oh well we just stroke their backs and they sit until they want to leave. at night when they are ready to go to bed, we walk out to their pen and tell them to jump down into it because they will roost on the edge until we get there. we shine a flashlight, say jump in girls, and they jump in they've also learned where the corn is kept and now every time me or my grandpa walks to the storage building they follow right behind us and wait outside the door for a handful of corn ive gotten them to run with me too

That's great! I'd say your girls are very well trained!! AND. . .they have you and grandpa trained as well!

Most critters are smarter than we give them credit for, I think sometimes its US who need to listen and pay attention!

You took the words right out of my mouth!

I have been trying to teach my chickens tricks but my sister and brother won't let me get near their chickens so I guess I can just teach 4 of my 6 hens.

One of them named Speckles who is totaly my chicken is so sweet she knows her name and will come when called. She will also follow me around even when treats aren't involved. she is an Auracana who is about 8 months old.
