Is lap roosters odd?

[Mavrik]

My two roosters like to jump in my lap and be held, is this odd?

Maybe not odd, just extremely cute they probably enjoy being patted as much as all of your hens and don't want to miss out on all of the fun

I had on of my golden comets jump into my lap when I got in my car yesterday. I think she wanted to go for a ride!

My son has 2 favorite chickens - one is a Tetra Tint hen that just started laying in July and the other is a OEGB rooster. Both of those chickens seek him out. They come running when he's outside and love to be held and carried around by him. Although I haven't seen the rooster jump up in his lap, it surely wouldn't surprise me if it happened.

I don't think so. I have a buff orpington who sits on my lap when I am in the run area.

My 3 year old daughter decided to go outside yesterday afternoon to play with her big brother and left the door open. About a minute later, I look over to the kitchen and see one of my golden Comets just walking around. I called to her and she just waddled over to me like my cat would.

It depends how you raise roosters...but it is more common for them to be aggressive, but i have a rooster that follows me around and sits in my lap and is friendlier than ALL of my hens!
