Mission- Teach a Chicken a Trick!

[TheChiggens]

Hey guys!
After my last Cluckmazing Fact, I got interested in the smartness of chickens and learning tricks, etc.

So if people would please post an idea for a trick I will work on with the chicken for the next months? Something simple to start with. I will choose the one that gets the MOST likes.

And will keep you updated as I go along!

Mine learned how to fly from the ground to my shoulder and ride on my shoulder while I do farm chores.

A friend of mine teaches chicken clicker training classes at the humane society.
Get a clicker, a point stick and some treats your chickens like. Perhaps grapes and mealworms.

Sounds good anyone else with ideas about tricks?

I will choose the one that gets the MOST likes.

Also, don't forget that.

Well, I am teaching one of my chickens to 'jump' through a hoop. Not really 'jump' yet, but walk through with the hoop touching the ground. I will eventually get it a few inches off the ground.

Hmm. Interesting. "Circus Chicken"

Yeah.

Wouldn't it be better to choose the one that makes the most sense,
or the one suggested by someone who has actually had success??

Can anyone teach a chicken to just eat a specific weed or 2 rather than my squash plants?!
