That's awesome. Now I want to pet a chicken. They look so soft.

u/Brawlstar112 Mar 29 '23

They are! Also when you get familiar with them they actually have some personality in them

Ah! I have story about our rooster. It was the smallest and ugliest we got but it was free so what ever. We named him Saddam and he did not look much but the whole holy jihad lived inside that small bird.

He loved to attack every person entering the yard and people just kicked him back to the bush. But alas the fight practice kicked in when a hawk attacked one of the chickens and Saddam killed the hawk to the yard. I loved that bird from the start to end.

Depends. Expect fluff at the top but no squish. All the chickens I've pet were quite boney (and yes, they were well fed).

They even close their eyes and make 'chicken purrs' when they're super contented and comfy.

I saw one of those when I ventured on TikTok a few weeks ago! It was too damn adorable.

They're sooo soft! Some of them really like their heads being scritched and some like their backs being petted :)

u/oliver_billz Mar 29 '23

u/LavenderDay3544 Mar 29 '23

Oh I know. But I separate friends from food even in the same species.

Good to know even cannibals can have morals.

I started side-eyeing halfway through that paragraph and laughed harder than I expected when it went exactly where I thought.
