Happy #NationalSnuggleAChickenDay! Sadly, billions of chickens on factory farms will never know the comfort of a snuggle, grass underneath their feet, or the sun on their beak. Our decisions can change their fate. Give chickens a break, leave them off your plate. #GoVegan

Birding with the chickens on the patio this morning: Emmyblue on my lap, Stevie inside my sweater, Ziggy standing guard, and Bell out of sight under my chair. 21 species submitted to eBird, including the Sharp-shinned Hawk that had everyone on edge. 🪶 #chickensky

portrait of a elderly peasant woman with pointy. Lack hat, black shawl, and black/blue/green clothing, sitting in a light brown chair, holding a chicken in her lap, against pale blue wall and brick red tile floor, in the artist’s signature style: “She is internationally known for convincingly combining elements of cubism (called by her "Dimensionalism") with pointillism and – through the use of the Golden Ratio for laying out paintings – structure. She has been accredited with being the first female cubist painter.” (Wikipedia)

The Mrs Chickens had gone to bed when I got home. All safely tucked up out of the way of the incoming "Weather Bomb" 🫣
They love to play with a chunk of straw bale.

Chickens scratching at a straw bale. They will spread it all around and it keeps their feet from getting 'pooballs'. No grass as they destroy it, every time.

Hello #Hedgewatch HQ and furiends and Happy #NationalSnuggleAChickenDay to you Imogen! For lack of chicken nearby we will cuddle cats instead (so no real difference to any other day) but we thought you would enjoy this picture mom&dad took on a walk last week. Chicks enjoyed the sun&sand so much!

Hello team #Hedgewatch, today it's all about Imogen & she loves it: #NationalSnuggleAChickenDay.

If you like to snuggle Imogen, keep your claws in!
Have a snack too😻

January 8 is #NationalSnuggleaChickenDay
Chickens were domesticated around 7k-10k yrs ago.
Between 4-2B.C. they started being bred for consumption 😒
They're smart, social, curious, and make wonderful pets!
They can even purr when happy 🥰
