Mine are always nice as chicks. But as they get older they start acting more like a stinkin chicken and become aloof & uncaring unless I have feed bucket in hand. They will tolerate being handled when I catch them but they don't volunteer for it.

I can vouch for chickens that just love attention. I have 12 chickens who I give regular attention to daily, but I am not really a hugger. They are just the birds, and I talk to them and they follow me around. However, I have one Easter Egger that is determined to love me. She will fly into my arms, even when I don't see her coming. She'll also fly onto my shoulder from the ground (I'm 6'3) and ride around like a parrot. She gets so sad when I make her get down. I have no idea why she is such an love junkie, but it's pretty cute. Oh, and like the others have mentioned, crevices are a major draw. She just loves to stick her head under my armpit and fall asleep.
I had her from a chick, and she was not the most loving as a chick. She really didn't start this behavior until around after 6 months old.
