what can you teach a chicken? [View all]

i am having a ball with my chicks. now that they are fledged out, i am letting them out more, and having fun with them. they already know "chick chick chick" means- food here. teaching them to step up on my hand so i can put them back in the cage.
next up will be teaching them to follow me. they will get to go forage in my yard soon, so i need them to follow me back in.
i am wondering if they can follow reliably enough to follow me over to the farm, about 35' down the alley.
but really just hoping to teach them a couple fun tricks. i know they are actually quite smart. fun little birds.
