List of things that chickens commonly do, such as taking dirt baths,  relationships with other chickens, tricks they do, crowing, disappearing, peck for food, establishing a pecking order, personality traits, mating, crowing and more. However, chickens also have other things they can do if you take the time to teach them. 
Things chickens commonly do:
  • Scratch the ground looking for insects and bits of food
  • Take dust baths
  • Analyze things
  • Remember things
  • Talk to each other and you
  • Love treats
  • Come running when they see you
  • Mate with each other
  • Molt 
  • Clean their feathers (preening)
  • Learn tricks if you teach them
  • Hens lay eggs, roosters do not
  • Have cognitive abilities
  • Put themselves in their chicken coop each night (unless they know there is a predator inside their coop)
  • Hens sometimes disappear to hatch a hidden brood of eggs
  • Hens act protective and crazy when they go broody
  • Roosters are protective over hens
  • Roosters will feed treats to their hens
  • Some chickens snuggle with their owners
  • Roosters have an internal time clock that tells them to crow at the break of dawn.
​Chickens do many things which are ingrained in their natural behaviors. They do not have to learn from another chicken to crow, take a dirt bath, hatch an egg, peck for food, establish a pecking order or get on a high roost at night. However, chickens are also very intelligent and can learn to communicate with each other, with you, do tricks, and play games. There's no doubt about it, chickens are very interesting and entertaining.
