Watching SF-based dog trainer Francis Metcalf train his chicken and reading about Bob Bailey's Chicken/clicker camp is making me want to go out and get a chicken to train for the long weekend ...

wow

That's cute

Should I feel bad about eating them now that they show some intelligence?? LOL

I would not eat a clicker trained chicken ... seems like that's a waste of a lot of good training.

Wow, that is amazing!

Hahaha!

They should call them clucker trained. I have six chix, maybe tomorrow if I'm bored I'll go out and give it a whirl....or not! The give eggs, that is really all I expect from them!

From the Chicken Camp website: why dog trainers should train chicken ...

"Training a chicken is a stretch and a boost to your mechanical skills. The average chicken is faster than the average dog, giving you a chance to improve your coordination and timing.

Chickens will freeze or fly away if they don’t like the way you are training them. Unlike dogs, you will know immediately if you are taking advantage of a chicken or pushing too hard too fast. Chickens don’t give their trainers a second chances as often as our dogs do."
