There is little information available about domestic fowls’ ability to navigate, therefore, it is also unknown how chicks orient themselves and represent space in non-cage systems. By using the sun as the chicks’ only visual cue, as that is what they typically would base movement on in the wild, the chicks ability to locate food was used to investigate their spatial memory abilities. Outdoors, an octagon test arena was used. At the end of each arm was a pot and one was randomly chosen to hold a food reward each test. The majority of the chicks moved towards the arm that contained the food reward, and it did appear that they used the sun to position themselves within the octagon. Thus, the chicks did use spatial memory maneuver around the octagon to obtain the hidden food reward, by using the sun as a cue.
