These data describe individual behaviour during an experiment investigating chick responses to 3D-printed insect replicas. Data describe chick progress through an initial training period, during which they open lids of small dishes and consume mealworms, and then during a testing trial, in which they approach and open dishes on which were placed 3D-printed insect replicas.

Also included are chick growth curves (daily weights in g) for the period of the experiment.
