Do chickens have hobbies?

[Random Fluffy Chicken]

I’ve been wondering this for a while now...do chickens have hobbies? Anything they like to do besides eating,pecking around, and jumping around?

I have one that wants to hop on my back and scratch, if I try and kick her off my back she hops on my head, thinking I will mind that less.

Well, somebody on our state thread has a xylophone in their coop for their chickens to peck. My cockerel keeps an eye out for anything flapping on the clothesline and warns his girls if he sees anything. Guess that's a hobby? A purpose in life? I don't know.

Favorite hobby is pretending to be starving to get treats!

Screaming about their favorite nesting box being occupied (CHOOSE A NEW FAVORITE!! WHY DO YOU ALL SHARE ONE?!)

Pretending they are STARVING and they need food NOW

digging holes in my yard, despite their kiddy pool FULL of sand
