I was hand feeding my new pullet yesterday and she decided to check out my fingers. Fortunately they were attached to my hands and she could not pull them off.

This is so gross, but I had a chicken on my lap after eating Mexican food & she pecked cilantro out of my teeth
I was hand feeding my new pullet yesterday and she decided to check out my fingers. Fortunately they were attached to my hands and she could not pull them off.
My girls line up at the gate when they see me coming and wait for me to open the bottom latch on the run gate so they can peck my fingers. Brats. I'm working on curbing that little ritual...
And my Cochin isn't much of a pecker. More of a biter - even when eating. She just sorta goes at everything with an open beak.
Just curious about this behavior, which is fairly new. When I go into the run to clean up, visit my girls or whatever, the chickens flock around me, and peck at my clothes and even shoes. They'll stand on my feet to get at my pants. No harm to me, but I'm curious- is this typical behavior?
