Step Three: Ask the hen to come back into the room. The hen’s job is now to find her lost chicks. Each time the hen says ‘cluck’, the chicks must say ‘cheep’. The hen must move around the room and use her expert hearing to find all her chicks. Each time she thinks she has found one of her chicks, she must tap them on the shoulder. The suspected chick must then reveal whether they are a chick or not.
