Another chicken breed poll!

That a second. Usually I am just told I am annoying (not that it is untrue)

Well, I don’t live with you. So you are most likely both. Also, I’m easily amused

I am actually not that annoying in real life, just online for some reason. Maybe because I don’t have to fear what others I have to face daily think of me? Or I am just weird. Probably both.

Probably both I haven’t seen the annoying side yet, so I guess that’s a good sign.

How you are describing your sussex is considered “friendly” in the chicken world. Chickens are prey and being held goes against every natural instinct they have. It triggers their flight and fear reflex. A chicken that likes to be held is the exception not the rule. A friendly chicken is one that is docile around other chickens and doesn’t run away when you walk by. A chicken wanting to be held or cuddled is a completely different ball game and one that doesn’t particularly enjoy being held well that should never count against them or cause them to be labeled not friendly.

I've always had Speckled Sussex. They are friendly, they come when we call, they like to follow us around, and curious as to what we are doing. That is where I want it to end. They are Chickens, I don't want them running over begging to be picked up. I want they to rely on their instincts which will protect them from predators. Predators come in all forms, even humans.
