Bluebell and Treacle like to snuggle

I usually sit with the chickens just before they go to bed and this seems to be when they are most receptive to a bit of affection. They like to sit on my lap and will let me stroke them. Only Bluebell and Treacle will do this, Pepper and Dotty don’t like to be touched. In the morning when I go in, all four run to my hands and I can now stroke Bluebell and Treacle on the breast when they do this, but Pepper and Dotty will just move away

Bluebell and Treacle perch on my arms

I love having this interaction. Other news is that today I saw Treacle on the big perch for the first time. She was sat beside Pepper and Dotty while Bluebell sat beneath them. I hadn’t seen her on the perch before and presumed she didn’t use it. I would like to get a photo of them all on the perch together but it’s really difficult, because I want to take it from inside as the photos are not good through the mesh. The problem is that as soon as I go in through the gate, they all jump down and come to me. The only way I can get the snap is by spending time inside and waiting for them to jump up. It’s a game of patience. That’s why it took a while to get Bluebell on the perch but I am sure I will catch the elusive snap eventually.
