If a chicken sits in front of two small opaque screens, and one ball disappears behind the first screen,
followed by four balls disappearing behind a second screen, the chicken walks towards the screen that hides four balls,
since four balls are better than one ball. The feat is made more impressive when you consider that the chicken in question is only three days old.
And it can do a lot more than add up. If one ball disappears behind the first screen
and four balls disappear behind the second, just as before, but then two of the four balls behind the second screen are moved visibly over to the first screen,
the chicken is faced now with two tasks. It must add two to one, and know that there are now three balls behind the first screen.
It must also subtract two from four, and realise that there are only two balls left behind the second screen.
The young chicken must overcome its initial impulse to approach the second screen, which initially hid four balls,
and instead approach the first screen, now hiding three balls. If this sounds complicated for the three-day-old bird,
think again. Infant chickens correctly approached the screen hiding more balls nearly 80%of the time.
Chimpanzees perform even better in their maths tests, succeeding in this sort of task 90%of the time.
