A Gabriola Island chicken named Lacy has set a new Guinness World Record by correctly identifying six letters, numbers, and colors in one minute. Emily Carrington, the owner of the chickens, is thrilled with Lacy’s accomplishment as it highlights the intelligence and potential of animals.
Carrington bought five hyline chickens last year to produce eggs and began training them to identify magnetic letters and numbers. She taught the chickens to peck only at the specific number or letter that she designated, ignoring all others. Even when additional letters were added, the chickens continued to focus on their designated letter.
Inspired by her chickens’ success, Carrington decided to attempt the Guinness World Records title for the most tricks performed by a chicken in one minute. Lacy was chosen as the best candidate for this challenge due to her exceptional skill in recognizing different letters, numbers, and colors within a short period of time.
The remarkable display of skill led to the creation of a new category by Guinness World Records specifically for Lacy. This new category highlights not only Lacy’s intelligence but also sheds light on the surprising capabilities of chickens that are often underestimated in terms of their intelligence.
Carrington documents her chicken training on her YouTube channel “The Thinking Chicken,” where she shares tips and tricks on how to train chickens like Lacy. She hopes that Lacy’s accomplishment will encourage people to recognize the potential of animals and appreciate their unique abilities.
Overall, Lacy’s achievement is a testament to the power of training and dedication in unlocking an animal’s full potential. Her success serves as an inspiration for those who believe that animals cannot achieve great things outside their natural boundaries.
