Do any of you have experience teaching chickens tricks or basic commands?

I've had cockatiels all my life so I'm trying to train them the way I trained my tiels.

Right now I'm trying to get them to come to my hand or arm on command, and it's working on my rooster kinda.

My Hutchy wutchy hutchikins poo will come and sit on my shoulder, and I can get him onto my hand with "Step up" and a piece of cheese.
 
I trained one of my roo's to come when we make clicking noises with our tongues. When he was a chick we'd put a treat on the floor, tap the floor next to the treat and make these sounds. He learned quick!
I'll never forget the look on people's faces when we called him like that and he came running!
I also had a little bit who liked sitting on my lap. When she asked to be picked up I held my hand just above the floor and wiggled my fingers, then she'd come stand by my hand so I can pick her up. Otherwise if I was sitting on the couch. I'd hold my leg horizontal with my foot just off the floor and she'd hop onto my foot and walk up my leg.
