I have three lap chickens, two of which are very jealous if one of the others is in my lap. The black star is the most friendly and the most jealous. If one of the other chickens are in my lap she jumps on my shoulder until the other one moves and she can get the lap to herself! The barred rock is a rooster but he also loves a nice petting and lap time. He will scratch at my feet until I sit down so he can get on my lap. He loves to have his neck rubbed and rests his head on my arm like a pillow. The red star enjoys lap time but she won't jump up on her own anymore because the black star and the barred rock make her nervous (they are very jealous). My easter egger doesn't like to be petted or held, but she always wants to be close by. I think the key is spending time with them and always being gentle.
