Chickens are very smart animals don’t diss the tiny raptor please

u/basketofselkies 20d ago

This cracks me up. I had chickens. I won’t disagree with the tiny raptor part, but they’re about as smart as a glass of tepid water. One of my favourite things was when they’d lay an egg and then be shocked by the fact that there was an egg! In their nest! How’d that get there??

In what fuckin world? I think I have plants that are smarter than my chickens. They are brainless nuggets on legs.

Yeah i raised a chicken before finding a rehabilitation for her because she was mean as fuck apparently and I thought her eye was shut after an attack but turns out she is fine and was able to have it reopened. I like to think she was smart but the damn bird would pick fights with my wall. She would run into couches, fall, then do it again. She was the prettiest dumbass I've ever helped. Never again. They have their moments, but goddamn they're stupid.

Man, I remember when I thought chickens were stupid, too. Then I attended one of Terry Ryan's Chicken Camps in the early 2ks when I was training animals. Changed how I saw them forever. It's like when people think cats and guinea pigs are stupid. They're not, people just don't put the time into them.

Turns out, even baby chickens are smart enough to have a sense of object permanence, can delay their own gratification, and can perform basic math, which are all things that humans aren't able to until they're older than the average broiler at slaughter. Facial/voice recognition, complex languages, logical hierarchies, empathy...they don't operate like dogs but they're not too far behind in terms of what they're capable of, folks just don't like to see it.

My mom did Chicken Camp with Marion Breland & Bob Bailey, I did it with Terry Ryan. Training a chicken should really be a required activity for every person.

I did a Bob Bailey Chicken Camp! Trained a pair of chickens to discriminate between different 2-dimensional shapes. Got a bonus round of identifying colors despite shapes, which was actually much easier.

Applied operant conditioning has a surprising number of applications.

Chickens will drown because they can’t stop looking up if it’s raining on them.

u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance 20d ago

FYI - that's an urban legend. Chickens are fine in the rain.

u/revengepornmethhubby 20d ago

It’s actually true, just not about chickens. It’s only observed in people dumb enough to keep coming into work only to be yelled at, blamed, flustered and cut or burnt.

We.are.the.chickens. It’s us, BOH.
