Do any of your chickens mistake your lower lip for a big fat worm?

So today I was out in the run, sitting on my chair with Audrey the Silver Campine on my lap. She's a bit flighty, but once she decides it's safe, she cuddles up.
She looked up at me adoringly as I scritched her ears and wattles, closed her eyes halfway with a look of pure chicken ecstacy, and bit my lower lip.

That's so funny! Your poor lip, but a great picture

I had something similar happen to me last wkend w/ one of my Delawares. I was petting her while she was in my lap & my teeth must have looked intriguing because she pecked at my top front teeth. She kinda missed my teeth, but got my gums! OUCH!

I've had one mistake my eye for a grape.

Oh my gosh, my injury sounds so miniscule compared to yours now! I hope your eye healed up okay. I guess I was smiling when my Delaware pecked at me, man that hurt - took a chunk out of my gums. Not a big chunk, but enough to hurt like crazy. Love your avatar by the way!!

Heaven forbid I go hang out with the girls with a couple day old beard stubble. Perched on my shoulder they can still get at it no matter which way I turn my head...

A softball to the mouth is just as fun. BUT, did you look like Angelina Jolie for a few hours??

Mine get my teeth sometimes, mostly when they have some kinda nasty crusted on their beaks. They've tried for my eye before. I'm glad I didn't join your pirate crew Rooster-Red.

Oh my red cochin has bloodied my lip. I was wearing this lip moisturizer stuff...clear but I guess shiny. I bent over to pet her and she jumped up and grabbed by bottom lip. OUCH! Husband teased me for several days about being "chicken kissed".
