Man, chickens are absurdly good company. You get one that’s well socialized, and they’re just happy to be near you, making cute little noises and looking all sweet. They’re still apex predators in a prey animal size, so you know, watch your fingers and toes or they’ll get tested for edibility, frequently.
That’s the down side of chickens. Brains the size of peas and about half as smart as a pea lol.
