When a sweet rooster claims your lap for his dustbath, you just let him
There's something wonderfully absurd about a rooster deciding your lap is the perfect spot for a dustbath. You can't plan for that level of trust, or that level of fowl play. When a sweet boy like this one claims you as his personal spa, you just let him get on with it, even if you end up wearing half the coop. It's the kind of love-hate chicken moment that makes you laugh while questioning your life choices. For anyone who's ever been ambushed by a feathery friend mid-relaxation, this is your story.
Derrick's side-eye proves even sweet chickens have fowl intentions
There's nothing like bending down to snap a few glam shots of the hens and looking up to see Derrick giving you the full stink-eye. I'm convinced this sweet boy is plotting something, probably world domination, or at the very least, a coup over the feed bowl. He might mean well, but that mug says "fowl play" is absolutely on the menu. It's hilarious how a bird with a one-track mind for mealworms can look so menacing. For anyone who thinks chickens are all fluff and no sass, this photo is proof they have a dramatic streak. If you're new to their antics, you'll want to check out our piece on a backyard poultry adventure that captures this same energy.
