Well, chickens purring and cats trilling! There is some good order in this fucked planet! Love this chicken in particular. May she never see the inside of a fryer basket or the topside of a dinner plate.

You can see the pause with the "WTF is going on??" followed by the chicken relaxing and settling itself into her "wing." Happy noises aside, it's very evident that the chicken does like being held that way, at least by that person. Idk if I'd recommend trying to grab random chickens to try this with, but I'm nobody's boss so y'all do what your heart says is right...

The other trick (if you're fast enough) with hens is to firmly press down on their lower back with the flat of your hand; it instantly stops them in their tracks. It's instinctual programming because they think they are about to get bred.

Polish have eyes but that huge poof of head feathers can get too big and/or hang down too far. Then it's time dar a haircut. They're supposed to be bred towards a better field of vision than this but show breeders still go for as much poof as possible.

trilling occurs when chicken feels both relaxed, safe and secure (in the restrained aspect). good sign of a well peopled and well raised chicken with no complaints about life in general or how it perceives thing will happen

As someone whose neighbors got chickens, please don't unless you live in a remote area. They are extremely smelly

Don't you all feel guilty when eating cute and/or intelligent animals?

6 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 5

Are you implying you don't feel guilty if the animal in question is stupid or ugly?

No.

You'd think, but cognitive dissonance and cultural inertia are powerful forces.
