The Joys of Learning: Chickens as Someone, not Something
|
|
Tiny (above) and her flock are the first group of sanctuary residents to participate in our Joys of Learning study. Developed under strict ethical research guidelines, it’s a 100% voluntary project giving chickens the opportunity to learn — and have fun.
As there is more to living well than simply living free from harm, this study helps us better understand chickens’ social, emotional, and psychological needs. Our findings will help us further support their individualized care, recognize what brings them joy, and shift the public’s understanding.
