I have a habit of sitting near my coop in the morning and watching the girls run around. I love watching their little 'society'. This morning there is frost on the ground and I am in a hat, scarf and a coat. They are wandering around and pecking...in their feathers.

Isn't nature amazing?
 
yes nature sure is. i love it when i watch the "girls" and they think i am not watching them. they do their own thing. chicken watching sure is fascinating!

Um.. we keep two chairs IN the coop for when we visit. We just lean them backwards against the beams so they are "poop-free" when we visit. I thought this was normal behavior.

Yup, chairs in the pens so I can chill with my peeps. Didn't think of leaning them though, I'm always cleaning them off, or sitting on a bucket. The peeps love the chairs.

MOChickenz...I do the same thing as you every morning I can. Chicken therapy. Cup o' coffee, and I sit on a birch stump outside the coop. When I let them out first thing, I throw a handful of scratch down and that keeps them in the vicinity. A few of them take turns hopping up on my lap for a quick preening, then they're off to do their chicken things. Definitely a nice way to begin the day - thank you for saying!
 
I let mine out everymorning with my cup of coffee in hand. Feed the cats first then sit on a big horse feed bucket (turned over of course) and watch them explore. It is like they are finding a new world every morning.
 
I also have a chair outside the coop. My gals (and 3 guys) are currently pecking some BOSS I have spread around, and the jungle fowl Roo is strutting around looking gorgeous. I notice that they appear to free range 'wider' with the full grown roo around.

Ok so I thought having a "sitting post" was normal for chicken watching. I love sitting and watching them...I'm trying to figure out how to build a little roof for ME where I sit so I can be out there rain or shine. When no one can find me anywhere in the house I hear the kids, "Mom's watching chicken TV again..."
