Do other people have lap chickens too?

Yep! Unfortunately I don't have a good picture, but they liked to sit on my arms, legs, and occasionally climbed my head. I've had to leave them with a friend, as I am moving a ways away, and didn't want to stress them with a long move. I miss My babies!

The hen in my avatar was a lap chicken, photographic assistant, shoe inspector and freckle remover. She really enjoyed going over photos with me and selecting her favorites. She lived 12 years and was allowed to die a natural death.

Haha freckle remover when mine were babies all my freckles were bloody!!

Yup. Most of my Seramas and Ameraucanas love constant attention. My other chickens are friendly too, but don't like to be held or petted as much. One of my Ameraucanas, Ruby, has always been extremely friendly since she was a baby. She loves to just follow me around, hang out at my feet, and just be picked up and petted a lot. My 2 black Serama pullets I hatched last year are also really friendly. They were kind of skittish as chicks since they were raised by broody hens, but they became more and more friendly as adults. They love to just hang out and be petted, and will just sit in my hand. Their dad is the same way.

Yeah. It would have been a very long stressful trip, and I really didn't want to put them through that.

Yep, all of ours are either lap chickens or like to snuggle up beside us. We start them early - broody mom Sage approved of the human jungle gymView attachment 3416133View attachment 3416134

I see you have a minor case of Chicken Toenail Scratches.

OMG SO CUTE

Yes I love it! I had 4 girls (now 3).

This is one of my fav pics. After a multi day rain event the sun finally came out and all they wanted to do was sunbathe on/near me and nap.

They also have to share with the dog.

And if I lay down on a cushion they'll come snuggle.

Yes, I have many lap chickens. If I sit in the coop they will come up and sit on my lap and next to me. While I feed them I often have them flying on my arms and head.

I name all my favorite chickens once I think of a name that fits the individual.

Buff Brahma, Speckled Sussex, OEGB, easter eggers, and my Delaware Blue rooster are some of my most friendly and affectionate chickens. My rooster is getting close to a year old now, hopefully he'll stay friendly.
