Would do they know their feelings in the first place? You need to have matched those feelings to sounds in the first place to train the model.

It's not hard to scare a chicken

Sure, but this isn't claiming that they've built a model that only differentiates between scared and not scared.

Do I really need to say it's not hard to tell if a chicken is hungry?

Anyone that's kept chickens can tell you what the different sounds mean -- they're not complicated creatures.
