There is a lot of miles between Virginia and Alaska and that's all that is stopping me from sneaking in your coop and stealing Romeo!

He is hands down the cutest chick I have ever seen!

He's so adorable, I had to make him my desktop background so I can look at him and smile every day!

X2 I love to go out and feed the chickens, and scoop the poop and rake the run and talk to them and hold and pet them and it really helps me unwind after a long day at the office.

I love my chickens becauuuuse

-They love me
-They love hugs
-They eat the bugs
-They all run to greet me even when I've had the crappiest day ever
-They never make me mad
-They are full of surprises, never boring

Chickens are just awesome...I never thought I would think this way.
I didn't think they were anywhere near this social.
This has mos def been the best part of moving out to BFE.

They are one of the few things that can sh*& on your head and you can still love them! (Forgive me Lord!)

For many of the reasons previously mentioned. I LOVE chicken noises and I LOVE chicken feet! They are marvelous creatures!

X3 If I don't have my evening "chicken time" (letting them out to free range and sitting with them), I'm not a happy camper.

They remind me that life goes on. Like most animals, they live entirely in the moment, and remind me to try that too. Watching them absorbs my attention more than a good book or movie ... it's almost like meditation!

Yes, they are soft. I would propose (don't want to start a war here, though) that Australorps are the softest.
