Chickens are great entertainers aren't they? And, the eggs are a delightful bonus!

I get a bit jealous of folks whose chickens like to be held.

I have 19 hens of various breeds. Only ONE wants to be held, and she's the accidental house chicken. Another, my Speckled Sussex, allows me to pet her, and everyone else just tolerates me because of the food and treats. They certainly come running when they believe there's something in it for them! Still, I adore the self-centered things!

Welcome to BYC, Lori. It's good to have you here!

Thanks for letting me know yours aren't into being held or petted either....needed the reality check that they are chickens after all not chihuahuas...

They don't necessarily like to be pet but they do enjoy lap sitting! They make great lap warmers.
