Einstinia the Hen at Terry Ryan's Chicken Camp
This little hen named Einstinia is extremely smart, she can tell the difference between different animal shapes. Studies show chickens have intelligence levels comparable to that of small children and primates and this video shows just how quickly chickens learn. More proof of chicken intelligence. At Chicken Heaven On Earth we study chicken intelligence to determine just how smart chickens are. We know chicks can do tricks and now...so will you. Scroll down to view Einstinia the Hen's Award and to watch her video.

Featured Video: Einstinia-Super Smart Chicken @ Terry Ryan Chicken Camp
This hen is super smart a perfect example of chicken intelligence! She examines the cards carefully to find the correct animal shape.
"Nicknamed "Einstinia," this is the chicken I trained while participating in chicken camp, a program designed to improve training skills. Her job was to peck only the zebra. She was the only hen in class to correctly discriminate between all of the zoo animals. She misses a few times here, but reached a consistent 100% in subsequent trials. And discrimination was only one of many "tricks" we taught them.

Chicken Camp was an amazing experience! I recommend it to ANYONE who works with any type of animal --- including homo sapiens. A few of my classmates were elementary school teachers :-)"--Paula Scott
