Chicken Training (yes, real chickens)

This is the most-requested "chicken training" video. Well, there are actually quite a few videos of clicker-trained chickens! but this is the fun musical version.
This was created during the Bailey & Bailey OC workshops in 2004, during my third week. (Bob Bailey is a highly, highly skilled trainer, with over 15,000 animals of over 150 species under his belt.) After 8 hours or so of intense left-brained training during the day, I used the previous weeks' video footage to exercise the right side of my brain in the evenings by making a music video.
I've always regretted that the video contained only early footage and not the later chicken work (weave poles, etc.), but it hasn't bothered me enough to re-make it.
