Chicken Toys

[BGKYSmoker]

A friend in Calif sent these to me for the girls in the coop.

The net holds fruits/veggies.
The metal rods hold larger veggie like corn, cucumbers and such.
The music thing I guess they peck at? "Ding Ding"

Happiest cluckers in KY. And it shows in the amount of eggs they produce!

Cool toys let me know if they use them I've seen them but haven't gotten any

They are not sure what to make of these, pretty cautious still.

I used to write software for an animal behavioral physiology company. I trained all the animals in our lab so that they knew Van Halen music produced the best treats. It was amazing how quickly they picked up on this. Then I would retrain them so that they realized white noise gave the better treat. After a short time they all adjusted to that. If you can make it so your chicks get some type of reward you'll be amazed at what they can actually do.

Wow gmc that’s very interesting. I had never thought of chickens being very intelligent. We had chickens for years until I decided to let them roam free outside and a hawk decided to enjoy them.

That is pretty interesting. I wonder if the chicken that crossed the road was trained to the song Kenny Loggins song “danger zone” lol

Yup, train them while they're hungry. Pretty soon they can distinguish the differences between sounds.

You know there is a lot to be said about that music thing. I forget what comedian it was that said nobody could hear there moms yelling for them to come in but could hear the ice cream man a mile away

They figured out how to get the cabbage.
