Do you like thier playground, now they can perch ontop as well as go underneath. I built it this morning for them out of some old wood.

I think they do, they have been perching on it, strutting thier stuff and I had two eggs later.....so I think that was a thank you.

It gives them something to do and keeps thier minds active.....do chickens have minds

They're fabulous!!

I wanted chickens to clicker train but nooo... mum wouldn't let me. So far that's no to the rats, the pig, the goat and the chickens...

They're looking very well and sooo spoilt!

They are doing so well, doubled in weight, each has her own personality, and in the day they have the run of the garden, and are so funny to watch.

Yea I'm working on .... buying a small holding, pigs, chickens (which i got) ducks, donkey, horse, goats and geese..............well I;m not even getting a NO, I get silence from OH.

I am sure they could be clicker trained you know, they are very food orientated. Re-call is extrememly good, shake a dish of food and they come running

Check out 'chicken clicker training' on youtube It's brilliant!

I'm really miffed that the really good animal trainer who's name has gone out of my head has stopped doing his chicken clicker camp in America... I'd have loved that!
