I have one chicken that loooooves to roost on me. Once she flies up on my shoulder, the other ones try, but they aren't really sure where to go, so they fly at my head and my chest and then get confused.

I don't bring treats and they usually won't let me pet them, so it's not love. I think maybe they are just curious and want a better look -- either at me, or at the view from my shoulder.

I have a few that do this too - one of my barred rocks especially. It tends to be in the evening when it's getting dark...first she will give me the "chicken eye," that kind of sideways upwards look, like she is checking me out. Next thing I know, she's flying up at me. Sometimes I think she likes my shiny earrings, but other times she clearly wants to roost on me - if I crouch down she'll jump right upon my back. Do I look like a tree?

lol i would love to have one of them roost on me. when i first got them they would all scream and jump in the corner and hide their heads. now due to treats coming i suppose they do come running when they see me. they are so cute i have them all go in the coop at the end of the day and i give one last check and they are all sitting on the roost looking out the window towards the house with the rooster in the middle. it is so cute i can't stand it.
