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.
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.
Australorps are the softest, sweetest, most intelligent, and most interesting chickens in the world. I am not the least bit partial, either!
Most days I cook dinner on the grill, and my Australorps are my entertainment for the day as I cook and eat my food. They come out of the woods from foraging all day, and have playtime before bed. They take off and land over my pumpkin patch while practicing flying, waiting for me to finish to give them their bedtime treats. Last night I was running very late, and they let me know that they were not pleased with snack time coming AFTER they should have already been in bed.
