The clicker is a marker - it marks the correct behaviour and is a promise to the animal that a reward will follow. In this way we can mark/communicate the desired behaviour much faster than we could deliver the reward; making it easier for the animal to understand which behaviour he got right. Once the behaviour is learned we can do one of two things; either fade the clicker or make the learning task more difficult. I hope this clarifies things? Julie
All baby chicks will peck at red color right out of the shell. That's why your baby chick water fountains have a red base! If a chick gets a bump or red patch on it, the others will peck that spot constantly causing a wound which leads to cannibalism! That's why they came out with red heating bulbs, it cuts out that problem.
OMG.. At 2:32, you can see the wheels in his head just a going!! First time I saw this i Was like He's thinking it over.... He's thinking it over!! *pecks red dot* YES!!
yes you are right when my yellow colour baby chick CHINCHILA was her name when she died i cried alot and also my other pet a rabbit named BUBBLY he stayed for three months and then he died for him also I cried a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!........
This is beyond cute! Don't listen to any negative comments..... As a chicken Momma I adore this! I've also trained dogs with that clicker so that's pretty cool!
OH MY GOSH, this is amazing, I have to try this sometime with my chickens and ducks. Normally, I say "go to bed" while clapping hands, works more often then not, but this clicking thing could be most useful. Thanks for sharing and showing just how smart chickens can be.
Of course I dont know for sure if chickens might just naturally desire that color ...I'd have to see the same demo using the other colors or at least read a study verifying there is no color preference. Cause I mean like humming birds are attracted to red so maybe chickens too?
They are naturally attracted to red. But if you notice the chick actually tries to peck the green one and realizes that it doesn't get a treat for that.
At first i thought it could teach them not to eat red flowers but to stay on the green grass or foilage. Then i realized the click was a good thing. This was inspiring to warch thanku.
Just like when playing video games the click noise indicates you have done the correct thing and then you get PLING PLING PLING reward points = Happiness and the urge to play more.

EpicFishFingers And plus, this video is about teaching an animal, not a human. What will the baby chick encounter where it will need this skill to survive?
Haha adorable chickens seem to naturally know this because I have four chickens and when they scratch and peck around outside they always seem to find red rubber bands or blue wrappers that I would haven't seen :)
:) so cute..:) im traing my lil red ranger, today I took her outside, shes 12days old an her name is Goknee, i walked away from her an she was just walking aroun, i called her name an she ran to me, every time i walked away she would run to me an sit at mt feet, i put my hand down, she jumped up on it then when I stood up she jumped up on my shoulder an sat down, I have 100 of them in 2different watermellon boxes in my house, Goknee was my fav rite away, she stuck out from the rest
It's curious that it never once tried the orange. I'm not sure id consider that as a sign of true intelligence, at least on par with something like a raven. I would've been more impressed if it had at least once tried orange, maybe orange is corn or mealworms. But i guess when youre a chicken your goals and priorities don't have a real high bar. A raven would've figured out the exact number of pecks optimal to get the food faster. Actually a raven would've just pecked the hand hiding the food and made you drop it, then flew off with it.
If it filed "non-red" colors as under "doesn't lead to food" then that would be an example of cognitive heuristics. It's fascinating because we know that we humans do this all the time; take mental shortcuts to arrive at our goals faster by grouping things. But we don't know if pecking the orange circle would also lead to food :) That's where heuristics' limitations come in; they can speed things up, but are error-prone. Alternatively there's another cognitive function that I forget the name of but has to do with pre-existing belief bias.
I do understand the teaching and learning aspect ! I just DON'T understand what is the sole purpose in this teaching practice used for ? Example : when I tell my dog Missy ... din din ...... Din din Missy ! Missy run and search all over the house to bring me the dog food bowl . .... I'm commanding my dog to go get and find his dog food bowl to bring to me so I can give her food . ......... so what exactly this chicken teaching practice is used for ? Thanks for REPLY .
I have seen this training strategy used on quails once although I have never seen the results of the training which seems to me personally to be a totally pointless demonstration without it...What practical use does a clicker and pink dote have compared to other training strategies?? and what are you hoping to achieve??
Wow. Too funny! Was the chick being trained to do what was necesssary when it heard the sound of the clicker, or to always go after a red dot to get fed, or that a clicker will produce food?
jane irvine Click training is used in Dog training. The sound becomes a "good" sound and is to happen the second the good act is done. Hope that helps. :)
Can you potty train chickens? I was wondering because i want a indoor chicken but i don't with it to be uncomfortable in a diaper, also i want to let it lay its eggs freely in a certain area so, can a chicken do that?
simlover00 you shouldn’t have two roosters for two hens. One is more than enough for just two hens, they’ll hurt them and overbreed them. Please get rid of one.
this peep is only about 7-10days old...I been raaising peeps in my house for my dad, Well i hatch them then keep them till they no longer need the light, but atm I have 100 red rangers an their only 11days old an fuller an a bit biger then this one an red rangers are slow growning chiks
So what is the chicken learning, that the clicker equals food? (I'm assuming more that this could be used to get them in the coup or in a feeding area); or that red is a color of food? I know they go after red intuitively as posted by another commenter... (does anyone know why?) or some other trained response... *just a bump for the other who asked the same thing.
Yes, initially the chick learns that the click = treat ( classical conditioning ) and then the chick has to do something to earn the click ( operant conditioning ). From there you can teach the chick whatever you would like to do - so yes you could train them to go into the coup or enclosure. If it is a big task then you will need to break it down into small stages until you get the complete behaviour you would like. We have taught the hens many things, including agility and of course to go to their run! Whatever you do - keep it simple so that they can achieve.
+Joe Perkins it's like learning colors. The chick has to see what circle is red. The chick will know that that the red one clicks and the green one and the orange one dont.

Nailed it bro
Lmao chickens are really smart that’s how they are able to be trained I have over 100 chickens and when one learns how to escape they all do
@@myanimals3951 Yes can confirm. What I don't understand is only 1 of my chickens actually knows how to get back lol

Yup... Amazing
It is a wonderful video, and being an international trainer, I would like to use it in my trainings, for which your permission is requested.
Asad Naveed - yes, absolutely. An acknowledgment to us would be appreciated
Many thanks
@@fromlottie Thank you very much :-)
@@fromlottie Sure, I plan to post it on LinkedIn and if you have an account there, I can tag you.
Can you do this using photographs of people you don't like & then utilize the chickens to actually attack those people?
lol
No.... That's a coup!
Oh god that's genius! If it works you can use it on a whole bunch of them probably
😂 Say ello to my lil friend 😂
G+ is terrible evil fucking genius

Ahhh the suspense at 1:54 lol
**peeping intensifies**
I TRIED IT WITH MY CHICKEN AND IT WORKED
THANKS SO MUCH
Sure it's cute now but when chickens take over the world you'll be crying.
i, for one, welcome our new chicken overlords
yes you are right when my yellow colour baby chick CHINCHILA was her name when she died i cried alot and also my other pet a rabbit named BUBBLY he stayed for three months and then he died for him also I cried a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!........

This is beyond cute! Don't listen to any negative comments..... As a chicken Momma I adore this! I've also trained dogs with that clicker so that's pretty cool!
Smart trainer; smart chick.
relatively
01:05 oh, a green one! I wonder what this one does?... hmm, nothing!... I'll keep pressing the red one so the lady takes the hand of the pot...
And this is how we (Slowly) help Animals to (probably) take Over the World.
Lol

And give me more of this

Who's training who?
The chick is training Homan not to be stupid
Little chook picking it up real quickly! Stepping over the other colours to get to the red :) wonderful.
Aww this was posted 11 years ago, rip adorable chick.
Wonderful! May I possibly use a short portion of this for a TEDx talk I will give next month?
So you’re a TEDx Talker ! Glad to meet you my coworker.
Of course I dont know for sure if chickens might just naturally desire that color ...I'd have to see the same demo using the other colors or at least read a study verifying there is no color preference. Cause I mean like humming birds are attracted to red so maybe chickens too?

He’s so smart and cute!!!
FUCK YEAH Ima train my chick and it will be my sidekick when I become a crime fighter
Wow how quickly the chick learned!
everyone gangsta till the chicken starts using the clicker
Me at two in the morning watching a little chicken press a piece of paper.
At first i thought it could teach them not to eat red flowers but to stay on the green grass or foilage. Then i realized the click was a good thing. This was inspiring to warch thanku.
Excellent example of clicker training. Simple and well done. Bravo!
Just like when playing video games the click noise indicates you have done the correct thing and then you get PLING PLING PLING reward points = Happiness and the urge to play more.
Cute smart innocent :D
*This is the most recent comment you'll see, I suppose;*
Great video, a perfect example of classical conditioning
I wonder if you could train it to associate different colors with different treats, and figure out what its favorite food is
Oh god, chickens are smart.
so, what is the point of training it to do this?

CHICKENS ARE THE BEST!
What kind of treat did you use in your cup?
This kind of proof that chickens can see colours
Nice work :) How old is the chick?
Haha adorable chickens seem to naturally know this because I have four chickens and when they scratch and peck around outside they always seem to find red rubber bands or blue wrappers that I would haven't seen :)
Legends watch in 2022
Would this work on fully grown chickens?
What a cute little one.
this is the best thing ive ever seen
Traning a chiken is very useful
Where do u get the clicker cups?

Actually I guess trying to teach my 1 year old hen do such a trick would lead to her peeking behind the hand that is covering the food.
UGGH SRSLY OH CMON HUMAN EYES ARE WEAKER THAN BIRDS CHICKS EYE CAN SEE BETTER AND HAS HIGH SCOPE
AND THAT'S HOW IT CAN CATCH PREY

*So cute*
What do you use as a reward with a chicken ? I'm used to dog and would like to try on chicken but I don't know a thing about them ;)
so adorable. I adore the chick
I bet the chick just remembers the color
I have seen this training strategy used on quails once although I have never seen the results of the training which seems to me personally to be a totally pointless demonstration without it...What practical use does a clicker and pink dote have compared to other training strategies?? and what are you hoping to achieve??
what kind of treat or food do you use for the reward? I want to try this! :D
Look at where quarantine has brought us today
I can’t believe the chicks in this video are 9 years old
What is the use of this training?
What's the point of training a dog to do tricks?
What's the point, training the cats to take a shit?
Ha nvrmind. Kinda cool, is there a primal age to start teaching them?
What does this do exactly??
I have the same question.
I did this at the humane society hehe. My chicken learned fast because she was a huge glutton
Wow. Too funny! Was the chick being trained to do what was necesssary when it heard the sound of the clicker, or to always go after a red dot to get fed, or that a clicker will produce food?
bump... I'm wondering this myself. It's impressive either way.
jane irvine Click training is used in Dog training. The sound becomes a "good" sound and is to happen the second the good act is done. Hope that helps. :)
Justine White phel
they didn't show the first portion of training which is just click/treat until the subject equates the sound with the food.
Can you potty train chickens? I was wondering because i want a indoor chicken but i don't with it to be uncomfortable in a diaper, also i want to let it lay its eggs freely in a certain area so, can a chicken do that?
Amazing!
Can anyone tell what happened with this training??
What is in your hand
What is mpg training
Woh!! Grt Job👍👍
What is the purpose of this type of training?
Next time when you say chicken brain, think again.
Прикольно, он правда натренирован. Мило очень-очень мило))
Where can i get a clicker like that?
Hello, little dinosaur!
Shes so smart!!
I have 2 hens and 2 roosters and might hatch a few eggs so if this training is useful in any way then I wanna try it
simlover00 you shouldn’t have two roosters for two hens. One is more than enough for just two hens, they’ll hurt them and overbreed them. Please get rid of one.
Wow🤩
how to start it ?
Chicken can tell/see colour?
So cute!
What kind of training is that
Even a little chicken can be trained but apparently not the dogs some of the people i know have...
Nice.👍
How can I make my broiler chicken active, what can I give them.
This Is prove that chikens can de colors
chickens naturally have an obsession with colours like pink or red, try it with neutral colours and c what happens?
this peep is only about 7-10days old...I been raaising peeps in my house for my dad, Well i hatch them then keep them till they no longer need the light, but atm I have 100 red rangers an their only 11days old an fuller an a bit biger then this one an red rangers are slow growning chiks
Smart chick
Nice work
Btw y didn't chic poop during the show?
Is the chicken still alive
I will try this
he is also pretty smart
I’m just wondering how it didn’t shit at all in this video
Nice👌👍👍👍👍
Whats the name of the clicker thingy? i really want to buy one
Just google up "clicker for bird training"
Rafi Abdullah samer
Rafi Abdullah It's for Dogs. Google clicker for dog training.
Now, can you potty train it?
what are they doing can anyone tell me please
