Hi guys! For my biology homwork, i have to research the reflexes of a chicken. I have got crouching, and 'flying' when you pick one up and let it go...

 

anyone got any more??

 

any help would be great!!

Heading for the nestbox when they get the urge to lay?

Going broody?

The posture they have when they hear something alarming - standing tall and looking around,

Would they count as reflexes? Sorry, may not be very helpful!

stepping back after they scratch the ground..?

[kitbag]

Charging when they hear the back door open?

When you touch their beak their eyes close.

 

and turn them upside down and they play dead.

 

and if you show them something interesting you can move their body around and their head stays still.

Oooh, I've not tried the beak touching thing! I have tried to turn them upside down but they aren't too willing - I get them about halfway and they are still trying to sit upright.

My ED loves moving them to and fro while they keep their heads still. Shh so do I as well
