Again, I am completely blown-away by this. I see it coming out in the chickens we have, they are getting familiar with us, realize we are not a threat and are actually coming to us when we enter the coop.

They can recognize more than a hundred other chickens and remember them. They have more than thirty types of vocalizations.’”

It is funny, my daughter asked me last night, do they understand each others chirps. I said, "They must". I have observed some on the roosting rod and others wanting to fly up, but some may need to move over and the one wanting up, clucks a few times and they "MOVE".
