What's that sound before each movement of the chicken??? and chickens instinctively recognize these colors or are trained for it? chickens or recognize the figures are also trained to recognize them?? Do not know if I fully understand the questions I am Latina and I had to use a translator!

[j9sk9s]

@karn95m5652433 El sonido es un clicker. Es un reforzador condicionado que permite que el pollo sabe su comportamiento fue correcto y será recompensado. "El adiestramiento con clicker" es una forma de condicionamiento operante. Los pollos se les enseñó a reconocer el color y el color y formas. Si usted busca "adiestramiento con el clicker" encontrará gran cantidad de información. También pruebe a mirar a Bob Bailey y Marian y Karen Pryor.

los pollos reconocen esos colores por instinto o son entrenados para ello??

Why do you click twice?



[j9sk9s]

@316Gar Not clicking twice, but there was a room full of people all working at once, so you hear a ton of clicking in the background.

[TheOLIVERSIMMONS]

and people believe chickens are dumb which they may not be all that bright but not dumb.

[gdyby]

@TheOLIVERSIMMONS They believe that cause it's very convenient to think that hens are dumb while killing and eating them. But it's not a matter of intelligence, it's a matter of being able to suffer and this is why I don't eat animals anymore.

[Britney9122000]

how do you teach it to do thoughs tricks?

[MiniBlueMushrooms]

wow thats amaising! how the heck did you train her to do that? or is it a her, im not sure??? thats so cool anyway great job. and another question wats his/her name? just wondering! :)

[texasgirly1979]

AWESOME!!

[redcuprar13]

Wow!

[Aswivelchair]

2:57 birds like what the hell wheres me target

[alpacama1]

Thank you- wonderful video. I loved the color and shape discrimination, gave me lots of ideas to work with my hen and other animals! Clicker training rocks!!! and is lots of fun too!!!!

[Metqa]

Wow, seems your chicken is smarter than my cat. It only took some moments to shape a new behavior, whereas it took days for my cat to do only one shaped behavior. Maybe it wasn't the cat maybe it was the trainer! The chicken seems like instant gratification for the trainer since it learns so fast and is eager to do the actions! Sigh, now I wish I had a chicken to train.

[myemosong]

please tell me how to do this i would love to know

[Pantzna]

exactly why i love them :D chickens are so smart!

[wereallcrazynow]

this is so facinating,

i am doing a year 12 biology experiment on animal behavious and i have a few questions about this as i was thinking of training a chicken for it.

firstly does it have to be a grown chicken i only want it to peck a target and i dont really have a place to keep a full grown one, will it work with a chick perhaps?

when you are training the chickens what are the main things you could record (eg. reaction time, amount of correct and incorrect responses etc)

[heyfroop]

i tried training my chickens with bread, but then all 5 of them came up. lol very hard to try all at once

[Kaliamammamia]

Ah so much clicking. Nice training, truly shows how smart they are.

[dogsarebetter]

Wow they probably have the same mental capacity as a dog.

[WhatAchickado]

They do and they rock!

[rayemond2]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[luckygrla]

Who says animals don't see colors.. they really are so smart!!

[no1horselover]

EXCELLENT!!

wow shows how intelligent chickens really are!!

hey what are you using for reward treats

[VHOCDogs]

The reward is commercial chicken feed. It's how the chickens were fed on training days.

[David11cook]

That is pretty cool I never knew chickens were so smart

[raymisty]

i'm gonna do this with my chicken, lol

[Trinksu]

Bob Bailey rules<3

[aquablues3121]

What a great video, Steph! Would your landlord allow a chicken coop in your apt?

So glad you grabbed the opportunity to train with Bob Bailey...way too cool, chicken girl. We won't be seeing video of Quiz and Zoie pecking at shapes, right? :::grin::: Looks like you had an awesome experience. Great job!

[jenniferbjorklund]

I've always suspected this, but now I'm sure ... TOMMY needs many more brains to have the mental capacity of a chicken !! We're still waiting for that UPS truck, Stephanie :)

[TinaAndDean]

Amazing work, Stephanie! Cindy's right. You made it look easy! I didn't know chickens were so smart. Now I feel bad about that roaster we ate last night.

[GoodOtto]

Very impressive, you make training look so easy!

[NightKing3000]

wooooooow nice!!! O,O"

[rhythmdog]

Very impressive work! Who would've thought you could train a chicken. Great job, Stephanie!

[MoonDogQuinn]

Pretty amazing!

Good Chicken, there won't be any KFC tonight!
