Chickens Are People Just Like Dogs

11.6.2025

Chickens are people

Just like dogs.

They enjoy dust baths

And jumping on logs.

Chickens will play games

Like ‘chase’ and ‘steal your smalls’.

They’ll splash you in the paddling pool,

Though not keen on fetching balls.

Some of them are gentle,

Some of them are tough.

Some of them are bossy,

Some timid and soft as fluff.

They all have personality

And every one is different.

Just like Rover and Fido and Max

They might be quiet or exuberant.

Lovely!!! As a duck owner, I can attest that poultry do indeed have personalities (and my husband insists they are smarter than cats! 😉 )

Wonderful! I like the first line especially. I’ve been thinking of trying my hand at children’s poetry, and this really helps to get my creativity working!

  Thanks so much Shery, hope you have fun with it. I take my inspiration from Spike Milligan’s “Silly Verse for Kids” which was one of my favourite books as a child 😀

I had chooks for many years. I always built double runs, so one could regenerate while they lived in the other. Both runs had piles of rotting logs for them to fossick in, and they always had at least a few tree lucerne planted in them, for shade. I gave them plastic bottle caps and things like that, to play with. My cats often came into the runs with me, and them and the chooks always got on. My chooks were always laid-back and good layers. I hate seeing neurotic chooks in bare, dirt enclosures with no shade. They most definitely are people. I loved the gentle background noise of their contented talk (:

  What a lovely picture you have painted. Like your cats, our dog used to come into the garden with the chickens, although they were very bossy to him and would chase him away. He was very forgiving, lovely boy 🙂
