I like discrimination against chickens. What the fuck are these videos even about?

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

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 quick and is keen to do the actions! Sigh, now I wish I had a chicken to train.

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

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 may possibly record (eg. reaction time, amount of right and incorrect responses etc)

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

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

no1horselover August 9, 2010 at 9:46 am

Trinksu August 9, 2010 at 9:56 am

You are clicking too late there ;< (Or is it just the video sound late?)

Fantastic video!

We like dogs, but “man’s best friend” now has some new competition on the block. The backyard chicken is forging a fresh place in the pecking order of human importance.

We just completed a feature-length documentary free Mad City Chickens.

The city will never be the same again!

raymisty August 9, 2010 at 11:35 am
