Chicken Camp!  A video from the past...

Two wonderful students tracked down a video from the past for me - my Level 2 OCBA training final test!  This was in Hot Springs, AR, in the late 1990s.  "Chicken Camp" was an incredible experience each time I went (all 3 levels), and I learned so much from Bob Bailey and Marian Breland Bailey (the person wearing the bobbing chicken on her head in the bottom of this video). 

I trained "Sugar" (the white hen) to do a complex chain behaviour: to walk to the end of the table, knock off the blue bowling pin, and then the yellow bowling pin, then walk up the A-frame, down the other side, and roll a dowel, before getting her click.  And I couldn't move an inch - I had to stay fixed in trainer position!  But she did it - amazing what just one week of training can accomplish - and what fun!
