Weather's miserable, so I thought I'd share some nice news

 

As most of you know, I've had my ex-batts three months now and, whilst they really enjoy a lot of interaction and a bit of a stroke now and then (except Dandelion, who squawks and runs away if you touch her), none of them are particularly cuddly.

 

Every night for the last week Daisy, my boss-hen, has joined me on my chicken-watching bench and walked onto my knee for a cuddle before bedtime . The first time she did it, I was stunned as none of them has done this before, and just assumed it was a one-off "cuddle-me" moment. Next night, she did exactly the same thing, and every night since. She doesn't stay for very long, just a few minutes, but has a nice cuddle and then goes straight to bed once she's hopped off my knee - aaww, bless

 

Just shows, you think you know them and they find whole new (lovely) ways to surprise you

ahbless, they are so nice to cuddle aren't they, they smell lovely too (or am I weird).

Aww that is so sweet!!

 

Would love mine to do that one day!!

I went and sat in the run with them last night while I read a magazine and they all came pottering round me seeing what I was doing, which is lovely after just 3 days.

ohh you are lucky. I have had mine since may and no real cuddles. They are just food food food, and oh did I mention food.

Saffy will let me cuddle her - eventually, little madam scoots off everytime i want to pick her up but then once shes up snuggles down & makes a funny quite purring noise
