In a typical household, it's likely you'll find a well-trained dog who can perform several tricks at just the mention of the word “treat” from his human. On a homestead, you might find a well-trained dog as well, but you'll soon realize that he's not the only one who can follow commands.
Chickens, for example, are a common homestead animal. You might picture them as disorganized animals pecking around aimlessly day after day. However, they can be trained to listen to human commands just as dogs can. You can even use a similar process to do so. It'll make life on a homestead easier and less stressful when you realize your chickens can be controlled!
Keep reading to learn how to train your chickens to come when you call them!
