Just found the first ever tick on me!!!

Freaked me out as we have never had a big tick problem here, or so I thought

Are the chickens bothered by ticks? should I be checking them?
 
We live in an area with lots of ticks. Chickens will eat ticks. I have never seen a tick on any of my chickens in my 10+ years of keeping them. That doesn't mean that there haven't been any though.
 
I was wondering this too after reading some posts here. We have ticks and started checking my chicks and yet to find one so thank you shend for posting your expertise.
