I have been tending to the chickens for quite a few months now. I am from the city and currently living on a farm, so this is all very new to me.
I have now gone through the experience of collecting eggs, incubating them and helping to raise the chicks. I really wanted to bond with them, but as it turns out, outdoor chickens are nothing like dogs!
But then one day as I was walking by one of the chicks I helped raised, now almost fully grown, spontaneously jumped up and landed on my shoulder!
I was shocked and yelled at my friend to grab her camera. Luckily she was fast enough and captured this glorious moment!
This is now a daily occurrence.... only when I have food though. I will have to observe this phenomena to see if it is cool, or whether it causes problems amoung the chicken politics.
Wow, way to go friend for acting so fast. Nice shot @kimzilla :)
