Do Chickens Like to be Petted?

Great article! Most of my chickens enjoy being petted, my cockerel loves to have his "belly" rubbed and then I just slip my hand under him and pick him up. He will come to me and stand there and wait for the rub and then to be picked up.
Great information on the social side of chicken-keeping!

Earning their trust is a must.
Very nice article on chicken temperament and how they react to human touch and affection. Great article for new chicken keepers that are curious about how to go about showing or getting affection from their birds.
