Funny how we all seem to be conditioned to think only dogs and horses can be trained. So many times I’ve seen someone walking their cat on a leash and heard chuckles and saw pointed fingers (ok, I was the one pointing!) But seriously! Behavioral training principles really work the same for any animal. In fact, most behavioral studies are done with rats trained to complete a maze, etc. Maybe if Pavlov had used a chicken instead of a dog, we’d think differently about how possible it is to train different animals.
With simple reward and association, you can train your chickens to return to the coop! How nice is that? Our One Acre Farm teaches you how.
