Do chickens fall in love?

Post stories of your chicken or any other poultry with there love stories

I had a OEG rooster who acted quite depressed when the hen he was living with got attacked by a hawk. We took her out of the enclosure and nursed her back to health. He seemed happy to have her back when she healed. Of course that did not stop him from accepting other hens into the flock when they were introduced later.

I call this photo "Chicken Love." These are not the same chickens I referred to above, but they look lovey. He loves his other hens, too.

Well, I'm not sure if mixed species love stories is allowed but, here is mine. My chicks are a little over a month old, and my australorp has fallen in love with my golden retriever. She follows him around and snuggles with him. It's cute because he's a harmless dog, never even barked in his life and he loves the attention. She even chases away the other 2 chicks from him : /, jealousy.

My EE Sunshine is in

with my husband. Whenever they were free ranging on the weekends and evenings and dh was outside, Sunshine will seek him out and stay by his feet until it's time to go back. It's really funny! He's never picked her up or pet her or any of my girls.

I have a white crested polish roo and he was raised with my buff orpington hen! Well when we put them out in the coop with the older girls they were picked on for 2 weeks!! Now that our roo is top he pushes all the other hens away so he can have her all to himself! I sometimes thing that she gets lonely but he keeps her company and gives her pleanty of attention!!!! They are the only ones that sleep on top of the nesting boxes!!! Oh I love my those to!!!!!
