Many farm children keep a pet chicken. Chickens respond to care and attention.

Keep in mind that a chicken is a bird and not always the brightest creature. A chicken will run to a familiar person, allow itself to be picked up and handled. It will respond to stroking/petting and eat from a recognized hand. An older hen will make clucking sounds of welcome to its "owner" and follow kids around.

Repetitive reward for such behavior is the key to taming a chicken. If a certain behavior results in food or positive action of some kind, a chicken will learn this. My hens learned that the slamming of the screen door in the afternoon means treats from the kitchen are forthcoming; and all run with wings flapping to a certain spot in the yard. They do not respond this way in the morning to the same sound. A chicken cannot be "house trained" or "paper trained" like a puppy or cat. They can be trained to come to a call.

Hens can hold it for a long period of time when there brooding but that's a message that built in there there brains. But chickens have incontinent, have no sphincter muscles so they cannot be house broken.

All wild cats, as in tigers, lions, etc. are considered "big cats". These big cats are not domesticated. House cats, like the little pussy that sits on your chair, are domesticated. A stray house cat can live in the wild, though.

The chicken is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the Red Junglefowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals with a population of more than 24 billion in 2003, there are more chickens in the world than any other species of bird. Domestic chickens are not capable of long distance flight, although lighter birds are generally capable of flying for short distances, such as over fences or into trees (where they would naturally roost).
