Is it wrong to kiss your chicken?

That's what I do also! Especially after seeing one of our outside hens prolapsing (she's at home with us at the moment and on the mend), I realize what a job it is to lay eggs. So of course I have to thank them for it.

And yeah, I kiss and smooch them all the time, well the ones that have chosen to be my friends, and they love it and can't get enough!

ok, go try to hold a Cochin and NOT nuzzle it... I dare you!!!!!!!
the fluffy white feathers smell so good! (well, at least my two do.)

Hey fishnet, my pekin is like an Aussie bantam cochin, and that's the one I want to nuzzle. But she gets stomped on by the bigger chickens.

I think that there is some sort of sickness going around. i couldnt find a name for it so im just going to make one up "chicklorodus" it is a sickness that a lot of peopl are getting. Signs of it are:
-kissing and hugging your chickens
-feeding them lots of treats
-spending over 1000$ on a coop to keep them safe and warm
-wanting to buy any chicken that you see
-buying them only the best grain
-and taking them inside when it is cold outside

I and many others have been contaminated by this sickness, it is common to any one that has ever seen a chicken and or touched a chicken or even talked about a chicken.

Not a chicken kisser...at all.

BUT, my daughter just fessed up that she kissed her little hen ONCE. She stresses she did it ONCE.

I kiss mine. Possibly even more creepy I smell them a lot. Bury my face in their feathers and just breathe deeply. I love it.
