So I found a little article in the Old Farmer's Almanac:
http://www.almanac.com/extras/#chickens will give you a taste of it.
It is an article about how to train your chickens! It has some great videos of chickens trained to do things like obstacle courses.
My girls come when they are called, but I never imagined there was a world of chicken training out there. Has anyone actually done this before? I'm thinking of trying it out, and would love advice! I'll let you know if it actually works!
Training chickens!!
Welcome to DG, BackyardHens. I've heard of some chicken training, but I'm too busy training kids. :)
Can't say I have actually trained many chickens. I have taken advantage of some natural instincts and behaviors to get them to do some things like follow me thru the gardens eating bugs. But I never could teach them to leave the earthworms alone. :>)
I just can't get over how funny it would be to train them! The site says you can train them to pick the queen of hearts out of a deck of cards. Honestly! Could you imagine!?
Can't train my husband, maybe I will try the chickens!
