How to Train Your Chicken Did you know that chickens are easier to train than dogs? It’s true! For centuries, folks have been teaching chickens to come when called. Guidebooks in 1865 advised farmers to take their named chickens out for a stroll in the evening—without a leash! The key to training is a hungry chicken. Before you begin, put some food in the cup of your hand and hold it next to the chicken. If it eats immediately, it’s hungry! STEP 1: Stand an arm’s length away from your chicken.Hold the food behind your back.Say your chicken’s name.Within 1 second, give it food. Allow it one or two pecks at the food. Do this twice a day for 3 days, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, in three 5-minute sessions with 5-minute breaks in between. STEP 2: Stand about an arm’s length away from your chicken.Hold the food behind your back. When your chicken is looking away from you, say its name.Give it food immediately. It will start to associate its name with food and look toward you and the food whenever you say its name. STEP 3: Stand several feet away from your chicken.Call your chicken’s name and offer it the food at the same time. It should run right over. Once your chicken masters Steps 1, 2, and 3, add distractions to test it. Practice in a new location or scatter its regular food on the ground when it knows that you have treats. If you call it and it ignores you, it’s not hungry or is confused by the distraction. Do not keep calling it, or it will learn to ignore you. Instead, decrease the distraction and try again when it’s hungry.
