My chickens like me. Well they like the treats I bring them. I have never had any of my birds show me affection. I have one gold sex link who squats for me and lets me pet her....so I guess that counts for something.
My broody hens are very protective of their chicks, and they sing the "treat" song when there is food. But I don't know that I have ever seen them offer affection to their own chicks. Am I missing something? I was wondering if they are affectionate to others...if they are what do I watch for?
