Yep a few of them. They are really demanding about it too, if you walk by when they want to be held they chase me down and bite at my ankles until i pick them up!

I have one...she was that way until she passed. And she was heavy like a baby...9+ lb lt brahma girl.

I have seen pics periodically here of chicks and ducklings that like being held that way. It is rare but not unheard of for sure.

We need pics of this chicken in the baby position though.

well sounds like she isn't alone then

It is actually pretty sweet.

Here are some pics of my daughter holding Jelly Bean

I have a chicken and she only likes to be held like a baby I hold her regular then she flaps her wings and kicks her legs so I twist her around to hold her like a baby and she just sits there and after a while she wants to get Down

Holding a bird like that allows their organs to put pressure on their lungs
