Be the calm second Chicken

Here’s a fun anecdote for you! A study was conducted on chickens to see how they react to fear. The researchers gave a chicken a fright and timed how long it took for it to calm down. 

    They then repeated the experiment, but this time, the chicken was given a scare while it could either see another chicken that had been given a scare or one that was calm and relaxed.

    The results were fascinating! The chicken that was looking at the calm chicken calmed down the fastest of all. 

   This study has an important message for dog owners: if you have a young or anxious dog, it will take its lead from you in situations where it’s unsure of itself. So, make sure you’re the “calm second chicken” and set an example for your furry friend!
