When I go to leash train my Showgirl Silkie I'll let you know. She will be a house chicken, even getting her a chicken diaper.

Idk about commands though. Fuzz comes when called but she's only ever known me since hatching.

We put a harness and leash on our RIR hen... first go didn't go well but the harness was also to big. We got it for our Brahmas.

I train dogs and birds using clicker training, (guess you can call it clucker training) and learning principles based on operant and classical conditioning.

Once you understand a little bit about learning theory and how it applies to all animal learning, you can train almost anything within their natural abilities. Best of luck!!

Use mealworms as a reward, chickens love mealworms and they're naturally full of protein!

A great treat that isn't artificial.

As for training your chickens, I have no idea.
I've trained my chickens to come to me by using meal worms.
