How great is it to just sort of hold a chicken? They look very hold-able in a good way. I'm trying to figure out how to facilitate this happening in my life but it's hard
Find someone with a small flock, I can just about guarantee you'll find one who'll run up and do the wings-lifted squat. Just make sure there's no roosters about, hens are generally the friendlier ones in my experience.
Ducks can also be rather friendly, though they take more handling from a young age.
They are SO holdable! 🥰 Sometimes when I scoop one up, I marvel about how the size of their chests fits so perfectly in my palm, it's like they're meant to be snuggled. The little wings-lifted squat is so fucking cute too, it's like the chicken equivalent of a dog running over and flopping down to demand belly scritches ❤️
If there's anyone selling farm eggs in your area, you should buy eggs sometime and ask if their chickens are friendly.
omg I love it
After seeing the video of a chicken chase down a mouse right beside a cat, all chickens are just little t-rex's in my eyes and I'm ok with that.
Mine caught a toad a few weeks ago! 🤢 poor guy was too far gone to save when I found him.
I think a trio of chickens could take down a cat.
Edit: We found this crayfish in the yard in the spring before they did, and carried him to the fence in the direction he was originally travelling. It seemed pretty weird because we're up on top of a ridge with only a few agricultural ponds in the area, but I guess they have to get to different streams somehow. What a journey!
I've heard other stories of crayfish out really far from where they should be. The chickens totally would have made quick work of it.
Your chickens are beautiful and I love them!
Thank you ❤️ I bet they would love you too!
