REALLY?!!? I had no idea!! Why don't any of my friends hens do this? Is it just because mine see me as 'dominant', or as part of their flock? They aren't afraid of me at all, so I assumed it was a behavior shown by tame chickens. Ha ha! I think I'm a little embarrassed! I'm no rooster!
When my chickens want to be picked up, they'll freeze in a pose. They kind of squat, and lift their shoulders/wings. It's the coolest thing!! I LOVE my chickens, and my friends don't get my obsession with them. So, it's fun to find y'all have the same love for them. Do other people's chickens do...
