I think the word bond is best to describe our relationships with our birds. I love our chickens dearly. I can spend hours (and do) just watching them interact and exist in the world. I think we have a mutually beneficial partnership - we provide love and snacks, and they provide a multitude of lessons. Their ability to show us how powerful mindfulness and listening to your body's needs are? Can never repay them for that!
Our new chicks have been our first time experiencing physical affection. I worry it might go away, but I appreciate what we have right now. Our older girls never got clingy or let us hold them. But when Molly, our buff orp, comes barreling at me to see if I have food or treats? It's like her version of a hug, of appreciation for my existence.
