On a more serious note, they have such personality. How could you not love chickens?
 
I love my chickens because:

1. they give us eggs to eat
2. they are working to lower the tick population
3. they are great entertainment
4. they are stress relievers
5. they eat the left over ( that way I don't feel like food is being wasted)
6. they are great yard workers
7. they are funny with their silliness
8. love hearing my rooster in the morning

so cute! didnt know that chicks like to cuddle:love
 
I love mine for all those reason above, plus:

The way they come running up to me in the yard and tug at my pant leg til I squat down so they can jump on my leg for a hug.
Then they snuggle against me, lay their head on my arm and close their eyes.

The way they look me in the eye when they're visiting me.

Because my rooster will stretch out to sunbathe in my arms and go to sleep.
 
I love my chickens because of all the reasons that others have posted...especially the one about cheering you up.
And I do think that chickens know when you're sad. I lost one of my chicks when she was about 6 or 7 weeks old. She was small but feisty and very sweet. I didn't know anything was wrong with her. One day she had a seizure, right in front of me, and she died almost instantly. I cried and cried, I couldn't even bury her but I did, and I sat in the run with the rest of the chickens and they were very quiet too. They sat around me, like they knew. They were the only ones that could comfort me at that time.
I also love how they eat, especially yogurt! They scoop it up and almost sound like they're smacking their lips..er..beaks.
