TLDR
The validity of the Skinner box was assessed as a means of obtaining detailed records of feeding behaviour and a brief hypothesis concerning the control of food intake in the fowl was formulated.About:

Responding on concurrent-chains schedules in open and closed economies.
TL;DR: Although the sum of responses made in the initial links and terminal links was found to increase, then decrease, as the rate of food presentation decreased in the closed economy, the choice data suggest that relative delay reduction predicts choice accurately, regardless of economic context.
Behavioural motivations and abilities in broilers
TL;DR: The aim of this thesis was to gain more insight into the influence of both motivation and ability on behavioural activity in broilers, and to restrict behaviours for which they are motivated imposed by their high motivation to eat, which is associated with their fast growth and high body weight at young age.

Behavioural and physiological responses of sheep of different breeds to supplementary feeding, social mixing and taming, in the context of transport
TL;DR: There were individual differences in the response to taming and this was correlated with the cortisol response during transport, in that those sheep which responded most to tame showed the least elevation during transport.

Food availability and the feeding and drinking behaviour of broiler chickens grown commercially.
Linda B. Murphy,A. P. Preston +1 more
TL;DR: These observations provide data about the feeding and drinking behaviour of broiler chickens reared in commercial conditions and emphasise how environmental factors, particularly food management, can influence bird behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of fowls to an operant feeding procedure and its potential use for reducing randomness in meal occurrence
TL;DR: Frequency distributions of meal and interval lengths, and postprandial correlation coefficients, indicated that randomness in feeding did decline at higher FRs, and FR20 seems the most appropriate schedule for potential use in physiological experiments.

Animal Behavior and Internal Drives
TL;DR: It is believed that spontaneous activity arises from certain underlying physiological origins within the animal organism, and from studies chiefly on the white rat what some of these origins are, and how they fit into the general biological picture of the animal's life are shown.

Observations on Eating Patterns and Rate of Food Passage of Birds Fed Pelleted and Unpelleted Diets
TL;DR: It has been a general observation that birds fed pellets can eat a given quantity of feed in a much shorter time than those fed mash, and the greater portion of the growth response obtained by pelleting feeds apparently is accounted for by increased density.
