I have four eggs in the incubator, 3 I put in today, and the only one that was developing in a different incubator. I am hoping that least one chick will hatch so that I can train it to do tricks like agility. I am only hatching seramas because my rooster isn’t really doing his job if it matters. Does anyone on here have experience on at least training a chicken to fly to your arm? Thanks for any advice I am hoping for a fun experience and even funner aftermath!
Here are the parents just to share!

I used to have a chicken that would lay on her side and play dead on command. We recently lost her to a coyote massacre, but good luck with training yours!
 
I think one time she tripped over a rock or something and I gave her a treat to make her feel better. Then she did it again and I evidently rewarded her. I started calling it play dead, and she just caught on to it. I don't even know how chickens trip, but she did.
 
Okay so the lone egg was supposed to hatch but didn’t and died half way but the other three look really nice and are going into lock down today and I’m almost 100% positive there going to hatch!
