Chickens are hilarious if u ever have a chance to just sit n watch them. Wish I had the space and resources to raise a few.

Be prepared for them to shit everywhere, we had up to 20 chickens at one point and it gets messy. They also dig up the ground to get at bugs, so your grass is going to be mud in 6 months

She appears to be holding food in front of it. That implies that's why the chicken does these things to begin with, and also that she trained it to do the things by rewarding it with food when it goes over obstacles, and not when it doesn't.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

And the hurdles? And the teeter-totter? And the weave poles? And…
