Do you like Chickens?(both)

Do you keep chickens for eggs or as pets?
When I lived on 5 acres I had a dozen Australorp Chickens.
An Australian bred chicken adapted from the British Black Orpington.

The chickens would roam around the acreage and come running when I called them.
I loved to watch the chickens being chickens.
When chickens start to feel a little bit dirty, they will dig a shallow ditch in dry, loose materials, dirt, sand etc in which they will burrow and throw the dirt over themselves.
They will do this until the dirt has coated their feathers and is settled down to their skin- where it is believed to absorb excess moisture and oil, and clog the breathing pores of parasites that may have found their way onto the chicken. They will then stand up and shake out all the dirt.
Then they proceed to preen themselves before getting on with their usual chicken business.

I got too close to one of my chickens once and she pecked my eyeball, Bruising it for a few days..
Each chook laid an egg a day so I gave most them to my neighbours.
Haha! I could watch these cuties all day…

I’ve never had a pet chick 🐥 or chicken ever…🥺

@SW-User Not to eat.🤭
Chookens are fun to have around the home.
They even supply photo opportunities when the Fox comes a visiting.🙂
