Do chickens have feelings?
That’s the question posed by Backyard Chickens Magazine and the answer is duh.
They’re emotional wrecks, are chickens. They’re scatty and fearful; they mourn the missing, they cheer when you come around the corner. They’re the most emotional animals I’ve ever interacted with. And they have real, discoverable language for all of it, too.
It’s heartbreaking to watch Sam pecking around the garden and calling to his friends when he finds something tasty.
There’s no one to come.
