My Pekin doesn't like that kind of attention but likes to follow me around while I feed the horses. He's a lover in his own way. My Cayuga, on the other hand, loves her twice daily scratches. I usually pick her up and hold her on my lap while doing this but right now she is brooding so I do it while she is on her nest or getting her yummies. She is very eager to get back to her eggs when away. Oh, and she coos! I love that part!

Ugh! Wish I could do the same!! I want to so badly but unfortunately mine like to stay at arms length! You are a lucky to have such ducky love!

Even as babies, mine all come when called, but stay out of reach. I read that ducks don't like to be touched. Notice, unless mating, they don't touch each other. Contrast this to my chickens that sleep in a dog pile.

I wish mine liked to be pet, but they don't. They are so soft.

Only one time did one demand to be handled - it was when Captain Hook had a fish hook stuck through his tongue and beak. He was a PERFECT patient. I was amazed. He was perfectly still and quiet through the prolonged operation of improper hook removal. Then, when set down, he stayed right at my feet.

I reckon ya'll can figure how Captain Hook earned his name.

Mine must have missed this memo! They, like your chickens, sleep in a dog pile

My chickens on the other hand - all start out on the roost at night and by morning are sprinkled around on the floor sleeping away
