Petting chickens is always fun for me; I miss my chickens. I had this one Ameraucana hen I called Mocha, who looks like Pepper, who’d drop what she was doing every time I came out so she could get pets and let me pick her up.

You can tell Pepper likes being petted. I used to have a couple hens that would lower their body and slink away out from under my hand when I petted them, so I considered naming one of them, "Lindsey Low-Hen".

Some of our chickens don't care for being pet, but don't fuss about it. Some simply ignore it and keep about whatever they were doing. And some seem to love it. But I find that no matter the case, those who come and visit (the people) always love it. LOL Most end up giggling and turn into children no matter their age. Cheers!

My hens love one hand underneath from the front. Supporting them while the other hand pets the back. They run over to peck and scratch my feet for pets, its so adorable. Sometimes if you put your hands under their wings like she does here, and use your thumbs to gently massage the back muscles, they love that too.

We know that petting our chickens means they will expect more than just a pet. They follow you around until you sit and then they’re in your lap demanding more love. As soon as we got our chicks, they were snuggled and loved and talked to. Sometimes I wonder if they even know that their chickens, more like a little kid he wants affection. They follow you around and it’s not always for a snack. Many times once one chicken jumps in my lap. I’ll get at least two more and they’ll have a nice little chat while they get their snuggles

People do not realize than chicken are loving pet, and not just walking meat. When they have a chance to express their personality in normal living condition, their are way much smarter than people think. They recognize their name and are as loyal as dogs can be. She was waiting for more pet. you can put more pressure on their neck and head, they really love it since they are more rough when preening themselves. You can also give them treat, using earthworm. They love that too and can eat by hand. 🙂 My hen was called "Cou Brillant" aka "Brillant Neck" I was 6 years old, so, spare me on her name. All my sisters have ones too (I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers) They were too young for laying eggs, but already have their adult feathers. They were beautiful ! Gold and orange with touch of black. They have our leftover, raw wheat, and of course grass. At first we keep them in a scoop of 3 meters tall, 3 meters length, and 2 meters width, with straw and ponders on the side full of straw and fake soft feathers. Their enclosure was a large circle of 6 meters wide build from the door of the scoop who was under the house roof. (were you still can parks cars under it) When they were more tame, bigger, and have the habit to lay eggs inside the scoop, we leave the door open. We had a 2.500m² land as back ward garden, "close" with a hedge. To call them, we hit a pan with a big metal spoon while screaming "kokokokoko !" And we saw them running like hell because it was the signe for raw wheat time and they love it !

Raven always runs up to me when I go into the coop, feeding on the ground as I protect her, she lets me pick her up and she doesn't hesitate, she doesn't usually run away to petting either. she's really sweet, and she grew up with me!

I used to grab one of the chickens and put in my coat during the winter or cold months. At first she fought to get out but eventually she found warmth in my coat. She stayed in while I checked to see all the hens got back in their home. I added more feed to the feeder and cleaned up/added fresh water to the water feeder. When I was done, I put the hen down from my goat. This hen felt as if she was “drunk”. 😅 The next day I came back to collect the hens back to their home, the hen that I grabbed, ran toward me and stood, waiting for me to pick her up. 💕🐔 So sweet of her. I love hugging the hens and I always called them my babies! 🤙🏼🌺🙏🏼❤️🐔

Since my beloved husband passed away, I decided to give up but I still kept until they’re gone. I hired to destroy the chicken house and coop. To make a long short my friend told me that he planned to send his 2 “retired” hens. I was very upset and forced him to give me his hens. Finally he gave me 3 hens. I didn’t have a cage or house for them. I had to build the cages for them in my garage. 2 of the passed away last Jan. The last one is very lonesome. I visit Bald 3 to 4 times daily. Due to her respiratory problems, her vet suggested she stay in the small bathroom when I take a shower. So I also add humidifier for my baby to breathe during the night. Anyway, whenever I come to clean her home, she begs for me to carry or hold her! 😊💝 🤙🏼🌺🙏🏼❤️🐔

There's petting, and then there's tickling. Nearly 100% of animals do not like tickling because it feels like an annoying bug on them. Pet with enough pressure that they know it's a pet and not a fly! Chickens have very thin and sensitive skin. But they also have feathers protecting it. Peppers feathers were reacting to a tickling sensation and, as if she understood this game, she laid down on her side to make it stop so she could carry on. All things in perspective.
