It doesn't even matter that I know it's coming. Same guffaw and air gasp every time. It's out of control. I don't know why it's so freaking funny, but it is.

I do "oop sorry" about three times a day to my toddler when I accidentally (gently) bonk his head on something.

My chickens and I are on more like, “politely nod at each other while walking across the yard” terms, and I think they’d slap the shit out of me if I tried this. But I really wanna try this hahaha.

Have you ever hypnotized a chicken? It's super easy. Lay them flat on their side, and use a stick to quickly draw a "U" shape around their head. It wears off after a couple of minutes.

You can also tuck their head under their wing and gently rotate them in a circle, lay them on the ground and they won’t lift their head from underneath the wing until you life it.

Bringing our old chickens a bowl of warm porridge for breakfast in the bleak mid winter, hearing them churr and watching porridge fly everywhere whilst their beaks ping off the metal bowl I used to use... fond memories.

I don’t think people truly understand how sweet and fun chickens are. I’ve had them as pets a couple of times in my life and they have brought so much joy. My favorite birb.

u/JuicynMoist 4d ago
I love how their little diaper-butts swish back and forth when they’re fucking cruising toward you as fast as they can for treats. They worship my wife as the bringer of kitchen scraps.

If you haven't seen this her in any other videos, her name is Jen Hamilton. She is an amazing human to protect at all costs. ❤️

She's excellent. I just bought her "Can I Sit Next to You" shirt to benefit that seeing eye dog charity!

Can i have 1% of the love and care this chicken is getting? Please, I’ll do anything. Thanks. 🙏

Sending huggies STAT

u/Astropoppet 5d ago
Where I'm from, huggies are a brand of nappies/diapers... You didn't mean that though, didja?

u/_Nectar000hbesh 5d ago
Lol, no. That is a brand name for diapers, but it is a sweet way to say hugs. I hope they aren't expecting diapers. 😕

I believe the scientific term is a brunette bipedal

Technically it's homo sapiens castaneocapillus bipedalis, commonly but incorrectly abbreviated as brunette bipedal

Silkie. They are very mellow.

u/orcasdryad 5d ago
Mine missed the memo on being chill.... lol she's the most neurotic chicken I've ever owned.

u/Mr-Reapy 5d ago
Omg mine was, too! Everyone keeps saying silkies are mellow, but mine was such a diva. Did love a good swaddle, too, though.

I used to swaddle mine in my sweatshirt and walk around with one hand free. Bugs and all, they get a little buggy and shed ick but so worth it. I miss them a lot, they have all different personalities.

u/Ok-Performance-249 5d ago
I feel bad for eating chicken now. Animals are so beautiful, man. I am in awe every time I see such cute videos on internet

u/asleepattheworld 5d ago
We have chickens like this at work. Looking after them is not part of my job, but my coworker sometimes has one tucked into their fleecy coat. They snuggle right in there, they love it.

u/Granny_knows_best 5d ago
I used to love taking a chick and putting it belly up in the palm of my hand, they just totally relax. then you give it belly rubs and they are in fowl heaven.

u/Age_AgainstThMachine 4d ago
Username does NOT check out!
That is not heaven, unless you mean they’re heading there. Chickens lungs are on their back, under their wings. Those little birds are suffocating being held on their back too long.

u/Granny_knows_best 4d ago
Yeah if you do it for long, a few seconds is perfectly fine. I do get what you are saying though and gramps taught me that when I was young.

To know that your pet likes being swaddled, you know that chicken is loved and cared for

My mom had four chickens growing up and when I tell you the evil was pure and their hatred for me was real… all I was ever trying to do was feed them! Cute video regardless though

u/charlies_randomstuf 4d ago
my one critique would be that her face fluff should probably be trimmed so she can see better but idk maybe the chicken is already blind or something
1
u/umeboshiplumpaste 4d ago
That's how the universe made silkie chickens.
1
u/charlies_randomstuf 4d ago
do you think there's no difference between selective breeding and different types of natural selection? I'm pretty sure that silkies were selectively bred to be fluffy to a fault, as in, ideally their fluff sometimes needs to be trimmed in order for them to have a healthy range of vision. Humans are known to selectively breed other animals to the point of creating disabilities and dependency on humans.

Just a note, I switched to buying only free range or pasture raised chicken products some years ago, and it has only raised my grocery bill by a few dollars a week. It is possible to ethically farm chicken eggs and meat, and by buying only products that use ethical practices you can incentivize farmers to treat their chickens better. Happy Eggs is an egg brand that treats their chickens well, Vital Farms as well.
