Bluebell1985 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Dear Chicken keepers, I'm an animal behaviour and welfare student and am currently thinking of dissertation ideas. One idea i have is to present classical music to one group of chickens to determine if it has a positive effect on their behaviour and/or egg production/quality. This theory is based on the unproven theory that classical music (the mozart effect) has a stress reducing influence on humans and animals. If this was to go ahead i would of course provide a high quality of welfare so please dont worry about that. My question to you is: Have any of you played music as a form of enrichment to your chicks and if so what effects did it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnirvana Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Sounds like an interesting research topic! No I haven't played any form of music to my chooks yet..... I do remember the cattery I used to send my cat to always had Classic FM on to passify them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
