Chicken Agility

Instructor's Operant Conditioning camp in Hot Springs, Arkansas. We coached another trainer and trained 2 chickens to to weave poles, a tunnel discrimination, and an a-frame with a down-contact in 5 days.

We worked with them about 4 sessions per day. The weave poles were by far, the hardest to train! Aren't chickens smart, though? Who ever called them "bird brains" never trained one!

@novoprofectus These are white Leghorns, the most common breed kept in egg farms (battery hens). Not smart birds, but clever! :)

I have similar movie on my account but we had 4 days to teach our chickens.

What type of chicken is this? I don't recognize the breed.

People think they're dumb but Chickens can out-smart toddlers. Toddlers think once you've hidden something you've made it vanish. You hide something from a chicken and it knows you still have it. We've seen ours solve problems before. Nevertheless, if they want to get out of a 4 foot fence they'll do everything they can to get out except fly. It's almost like flying is tabboo for chickens. I've seen the others get upset when a hen flies and go and peck her for her misbehavior!
