Heck, I' in trouble. Have considered writing a book "How to keep chickens out of your kitchen".

I have one chicken that lays eggs in my bathtub. Many times I think a chicken is missing, only to find her in the attic. My chickens are TOO domesticated. Maybe if I lined their coop with satin sheets, they'd stay out of my house.

I don't see why anyone would kiss a chicken. Those beaks can poke an eye out.

Hugging a chicken? Nothing soft and cuddly about feathers.

I’ve raised chickens (and quai, and pheasants) for over 60 years. Never have had an urge to hug, stroke, or kiss them. They are mean, stupid creatures that convert feed to noise and eggs.

Have you ever watched, ‘The Natural History of the Chicken’? It’s a DVD and really interesting.

There’s a woman who has a Silkie that she keeps as a house pet. She lets it swim in her pool, then the thing lets her blow-dry it with a hair dryer! Insane.

Other parts deal with rooster issues, Big Ag chicken production and how to do it yourself. Not for the squeamish, but I thought it was well done, and I learned a few things. :)
