Chickens That Like Hugs

PictureMr. Frizzle snuggling with Rev. Penny Dean
Chickens love to cuddle and they love to get hugs too! I have many chickens that like to sit on my lap and cuddle. Some of them even try to push one chicken off my lap so they can get up and get some cuddling and attention. Now all chickens are like that. Some chickens just want to be chickens and don't want to be messed with but others genuinely seem to like it.
​Watch how sweet these hugging chickens are!

Featured Video: Chicken walks towards & Hugs a Kid

Important warning: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) warns against snuggling and kissing backyard chickens due to the possible risk of contracting salmonella. They recommend washing your hands after handling chickens and things your chickens use, changing clothing, keeping chickens and their things clean and clean birds and the things they use or come in contact with outdoors, as well as, leaving any shoes worn in the coop or chicken run outside. People most at risk are children under the age of 5, adults 65 and over and people with compromised immune systems (2).
