Do you kiss your chickens?

[Addicted To Chickens]

One of my chickens and I have a ritual where I sit down then she pecks me REALLY hard on the knee witch signals me to put her on my lap so she can sleep!

This is her.

Chickens are nasty dirty birds. They dig, peck, roll in the dirt/run/coop.

You definitely shouldn't kiss your chickens if you have a suppressed immune system.

I've never kissed my chickens no. I wouldn't advise it either, I kiss my dog tho (on the head)

No I definitely do not, but I also do not even like hugging people either unless it’s my husband or kids. Though if I had to choose between hugging a stranger or a chicken you bet that chicken and I would be best friends.

I don’t normally kiss my birds, but I’ll do it once in a while. I did it recently for a little chick that had to be put down due to a severely deformed leg, and to a hen that wanted to be picked up and snuggled when she normally doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Edit- I will admit though that I’ve had a few chickens peck my lips and teeth before. I once had a duck actually grab my tongue and yank on it when I had my mouth open. For a moment while I was soaking her bumblefoot. There was a lot of sputtering and spitting and yelling after that one! She almost got me to let her go

I do when they come out of the oven.
