How do your chickens amuse you? Stories Please....

when i first brought my black bantam cochin and WC bantam polish pullets outside for a little sunlight and venturing i got to see just how much they had imprinted on me. they followed me within a few feet throughout my garden and backyard that whole time. never letting me out of their sight!

now they are a few months older and they still come running for me when i go into the coop! the polish has to jump up to my shoulder from the floor. the cochin sits at my foot and coos till i pick her up for a cuddle. my other birds get jealous and try to climb on me too.

the cochin pullet-Luna, has been enjoying her cockerel-Sunny since they have been together these last few months. i had to move them closer to the house for the winter months and since i am residential and don't want to loose my crowing roo i had sound proofed the garage coop (but he is still a little loud!) he gets put into a dog crate with a blanket over it for the night, i tend to find her hiding under the corner of the blanket right by his door! though she doesn't care much for his advances yet, she is very loyal to him.

I love chasing my white silkie rooster around the pen for a hug. He looks so funny running from behind! He runs around this doghouse then turns and peeks sround the corner to see if I'm still behind him. So entertaining!

How about when they're running AWAY from you to join the other chickens - nothing funnier than a fluffy butt jet-propelled by two rotating drumsticks!

Ditto! Everything they do is amusing. Ditto to just about everything everyone has said, from listening to their bawks bawks to cuddles to just sitting, relaxing, and watching their antics...

Daisy Mae Sunshine is our wonderful pound puppy. She likes to play with chickens... make that Roosters, the hens run. She thinks it soooo much fun - she doesn't realize that they are actually want to kill her. She thinks also that they are her puppies.. after all, they went from new babies in the house that she nuzzled to outside "funny rabbit bird running kitty cat things" or som'n!!!! No matter what they actually are to her... they are so much fun to play with. Even if they want to peck her eyeballs out!!! She never hurts the Roo's.. just jumps around. Wish I could say the same for them. They get a good flog in now and then and sends her runnin!!!

Playing with Roo's is fun!!!

OH! he's gonna get me!!!!!!!!

I changed my mind! Changed my mind!! I'm outta here.. they're ganging up on me!!!!

I know y'all will call me a liar -- but I swear on my chickens' fuzzy butts this is absolutely true...

Our friends and we were sitting out in the yard -- enjoying some ?! fried chicken !! and the chickens were all over us begging for food. That's not the funny part...

Our friend lit a cigarette, and just as he lit it a chicken jumped up and stole it out of his mouth -- somehow grabbing the filter end. It ran like crazy with all the others running after it and it had the cigarette just perfectly positioned in its beak. I so wish I would have had a camera.

The friend chased down the chicken to get his cigarette back...

I like seeing their little faces looking up at me when I feed them treats. Today I had grapes for them and had them jump up to pull them off the stems. The 2 Sebright hens took shortcuts and jumped up in my lap and went straight for the bag full.

I don't let mine out until I get eggs in the nest boxes..Today they had none so I didn't let them out early, I went to check later and a plastic easter egg was in the box. I had it in there when I was training them where to lay and they had kicked it out a long time ago, but today they tried to fool me!
