Friendly chicken

[wcn85]

I have a chicken who will jump up in my lap while I'm outside. She actually lets me pet her and hold her. This strikes me as odd behavior. Is this normal?

Greetings from Kansas, wcn85, and

! Pleased to have you with us! Yes, chickens that are given treats and petted will indeed become lap chickens! Lots of people would envy you as they wish their chickens would jump into their laps!!!

nothing odd there - she is just a very sociable chicken
