A Patient Woman Teaches Her Chickens and Goats to Perform Adorable Tricks Using Clicker Training

A incredibly patient Dutch woman named Marie Verbouw has taught her chicken Milca and her two goats Roosje and Kato how to perform remarkable tricks such as weaving in and out of her legs as she walks, sit, play dead, turn circles and leap through hoops. All this was achieved through the positive feedback process of clicker training, which appears to be effective in animals of all shapes, sizes and species including goats and chickens.
