Do you kiss your chickens?

I'm guessing then you use a tranquilizer gun or a capture net to get a hold of your animals ?

I'd love to kiss my hen, but I don't want to lose an eye

I kiss my dogs though, and they don't much care for it

I love my chickens, but I don't kiss them.
And I'm not going to unless one of them at least buys me dinner and drinks first.

All my babies get kisses!!!!

Too funny! I always get the urge to kiss them, but haven't as I worried about getting worms. Nice to know that it is o.k.! I may sneak a kiss in there now and again.

I do kiss my chickens any chance I get, but they don't let me all the time. You only live once, so kiss your chickens for cryin out loud. I haven't gotten worms from anything I have kissed yet and you are more likely to catch worms from your dog or cat than your chooks

my show chickens are tame enough and healthy enough [if i pick one up a specific hen occasionaly gets so jealous that she flies up onto my shoulder] that i would have no fear of kissing my chickens, however i have never felt the need to show my love to my birds in this passionate a way. and quite honestly i think the bird would probably just be confused and appreciate scratch alot more.

I tend to kiss the little chicks more than the adults, but I have given a kiss or two to the girls. I only kiss the tops of their heads because I don't want to get bit on the lip. LOL! I also kiss my goats, dogs, and other animals. They enjoy cuddling, scratches, and kisses just seem to go along with that. Some people think it's groos but I simply remind them that many of them put their mouths in and on MUCH dirtier places than a goat's nose or a chicken's head.

No disrespect intended but I truly think you don't understand--- it has nothing to do with relationships with humans. I have been married for nearly a quarter of a century to a wonderful man--- I've raised two great kids into loving, responsible and well adjusted adults. I have always loved animals in that they are an expression of God's amazing creation, providence and love. My animals--- including my chickens bring me such joy--- just their being--- the fact that I care for them and they provide for me. Animals are, to me, a sign of God's love for us--- a gift that teaches us about our relationship to Him. I think it is more sad when a creature created by God cannot be loved and appreciated for what it is--- a living breathing being that with a little care provides so much in return. It is sad to me when I see animals treated as objects--- a commodity to be used. It is interesting how in our society we recognize people who abuse and torture animals as having the potential of eventually becoming killers of human beings--- Being a good steward of God's creation to me means seeing the goodness in it---- that bring joy to my heart and that is expressed in the care and affection I feel towards the creatures he has provided for me..... Just my .02... for what it is worth!

Well said Kelidei!

And yes I kiss my chickens on the lips all the time... they are free range and they're clean! I have had moments when I've realised what plant they'e been eating based on their beak-breath.... that's always a weird moment.....

You're kidding , right?
