Sleeping Beauty

[ChickenRush]

Miss Tina used to perch on my hand or arm while I pet her head and smoothed her crest back. She’d inevitably fall asleep. She’s much bigger now so she’s not perching, but she loves to be cuddled close. When I pet her crest it’s still lights out. Y’all, she’s just taking a nap. My polish are basically dogs; hold me, pet me, cuddle me, love me. They follow me around like dogs and come running when they’re called.

If you're tipping them on their backs at all, they may be suffocating and passing out. Just letting you know, cute pictures.

Oh no, it never occurred to me to try to put them on their backs. I’m 100% positive they’d stop loving me. I was holding the camera underneath her. She just falls asleep when I touch her crest. I have a video but it won’t let me post. These are from when she was younger. Thank you! I appreciate that you care enough for all our babies to take a chance on offering that education. I know some people can be easily offended, but it’s important to do what’s right and you did.

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to upset you, I just didn't want your chicken to get hurt by accident.
I have one polish and she's the very opposite of friendly and calm.

This is the spirit of BYC. People helping other people. Don't be afraid to ask questions, if you have them. The knowledge pool here is both wide and deep.
