Now tell me why you're here.
I can see, this is obviously gonna be an animal act.

[laughter]
- Just a gift I have. - [chuckles]
- So I'm gonna do some chicken training with Hallow.
- Okay.
- When did you realize that you could train a chicken?
- I started training the chickens when I was seven.
- And what came first? The chicken or the "AGT"?
[laughter]
- Is it your dream to win "America's Got Talent"?
- Yes. - Okay.
Good for you.
[chicken chirps]
Is that you talking?
[chicken chirps]
Okay, well, look, as I always say,
the next two minutes could change your lives,
so good luck. - Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- How sweet is she?
- How do you even think of training chickens?

- Amazing.
- Howie. - There are no words.
I've never seen anything like that,
and that's exactly what blows my mind on this show.
I love--I love your chickens. I love you.
Thank you for being here.
- I want to know first,
what is this pom-pom-looking chicken?
What kind of-- what is--what is that?
- That one that is like a round ball.
- She's a Cochin frizzle.
So this guy, Hallow's feathers, they're straight.
Her feathers are the curlicues,
so that's what makes her a little fluffy.
- Well, if you are not too busy,
I need help with my four kids.
[laughter]
- You didn't miss one bit.
It was fascinating to see what these chickens could do.
It was, like, unexpected.
So I am very glad that you made it to "AGT."
- I mean, we had animal acts on the show who did nothing.
Literally useless. - Yeah.
[clucking] - And then you come on
with your chickens and they did everything right.
It's incredible.
- Amazing. - Amazing.
So I'd like to start this off
with your first yes. - Yeah.
Yes. - Sofía.
- Absolutely a yes for you and your chickens.
- I'm gonna give you a third yes.
[cheers and applause]
- [imitating chicken] Yes, yes, yes!
Four yeses. Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Yeah. You got it!
- I have never gotten a dog to listen actually.
- I can't even get my kids to listen.
