Teaching Days of Week

[wyomingsundancer]

Has anyone attempted to teach their chickens how to tell the days of the week? Our cat knows weekends now. I was wondering if feeding a treat only on weekends would possibly work.

Sounds like deprivation to me.

Why?

I don't know about chickens, but I used to have a cockatiel who knew when Saturday was, because he only got birdseed as a treat on Saturday morning. As soon as I uncovered him on Saturday, he'd start searching for his treat, but he knew it was not there on other days.

Well, they did that thing a bit ago that seemed to indicate that chickens can count... if they can count, they can probably recognize patterns.

About the best you could do is Treatday, Nottreatday, but still.
