Training Starts Young

Who says chickens are dumb?  My chickens aren't dumb.  When they were tiny little babies I held them alot.  When they were a few weeks old I started tilting them on their backs.  Now when I flip them over they just lay in my hands and they don't move, like a baby.  I also taught them how to sit on my arm, like a perch.  Every time I pick them up I pet them around their neck.   Then one day when I went into their coop I sat down on my bench and Zahria jumped up and sat down beside me.  I pet her and she went to sleep.  I taught the chickens how to jump up and get the worm out of my hand.  When I go into the gate they all come running to me.  Zahria loves me the most and tries to run all the other chickens off.
