Why do chicken wipe their beaks on the ground when the are eating? Just curious.

What's really cute is when they peck food off each other's beaks. My mom says it looks like they're giving the other chicken a kiss. And it does!

Funny, one of mine did that yesterday. I was feeding them pears and brocolli from my hand, and one kept wiping his mouth on my pant leg after he'd get a bite. It seemed that's exactly what he was doing. The girls would just run off.
