Did you remember to hug one of your chickens today? Last year, after a great deal of thought, I felt it was important to honor our backyard chickens. After all, how different would our lives be without them? I am grateful for their eggs, their companionship, entertainment, lessons in life, the responsibilities they have taught my children, their little noises and their lust for life!
Tilly was up first. I just love how they nuzzle into that little space of my neck. Their warm little wattles and combs touch my skin. I can hear them breathing into my ear and cooing happy content little chicken words. I just love when they decide to close their eye with pure contentment.
Please be sure to share a photo of you hugging your chickens today on our Facebook page or the Hug A Chicken Day™ event page. For exclusive Tilly’s Nest merchandise that ships worldwide commemorating the event, click here.

So they really like to be held and hugged?? You really can't tell in the photo – no tail wagging or anything like that. This is sweet!! Wish I had a chicken to hug!!
Happy Hug A Chicken Day! So glad that you started this. Of course I hug my chickens nearly every day, it is good to set aside time to get them extra hugs 🙂
I posted a pic on facebook of me hugging our RIR rooster, "Roosty Roo" 🙂
I will hug every single one of my chickens!
