I believe chickens are smarter than we may think they are. Mine know I keep treats in my pockets and they try to pick my pockets if they can get close enough. They understand the word "treat" and will go inside the run and wait for me to toss scratch about. Although I do think it is more than food that makes them remember us. When you raise an animal from birth you establish a bond with them. So @NHMountainMan, I'm sure you are more than a noisy old pick up truck and bringer of food to your former chicken babies.
There's a video floating around that shows a rooster running about a hundred yards down the driveway to meet his girl when he hears her school bus coming down the road.
that is a great little video! I Love it.wow did they come a running full bore.
Yeah that's pretty cool actually. Some studies out there, just have to really look sadly given how popular poultry is right now you'd think they'd be more apparent.I read somewhere, I'll have to dig up where, that chickens can remember up to 7 different faces. Food and fear are big factors, but seemingly also not the only ones.
