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.
