1) there is still danger that the brain needs to be attuned to.
2) I often let the chickens out of the fenced in area when the grasshopper population gets unruly in the warm summer months, and if you watch the chickens hunt them, I think you’d find that even in the presence of being fed for ~10 months of the year, their brains are highly alert and they are quite good at killing fast moving, unpredictable things.
- theendisney 2y agoI hear it takes only one chicken for all of them to learn a trick. My grandma had a rooster that ran many circles every morning and eventually flew to a nearby tree branch. The chickens would follow one by one, the last one needed 15 minutes worth of warming up until she was finally able to fly. I dont know what the point was but it seemed important to her? They all sat there watching until she made it.
