[John cycling]

Please don't kiss the chickens.

CDC: "Poultry can carry salmonella germs even if they look healthy and clean."

Oh, darn.

Darn John. But I did give up kissing my chicken 6 months ago. Last time I did, she laid an egg.

You would be surprised. I'm on several Class B RV forums and some people travel with their pet chickens. Class Bs are vans!!! ...not ginormous buses. These very odd people ...imo!... put wire dog kennels with woodchip bedding into whatever floor space they can cram them. If people are willing to ride, sleep and eat in a van chassis RV with the aroma of fresh chicken poop (plus clean the cages daily), then I'm betting some of these chickens are cuddled and kissed.

I have a Facebook friend who keeps a chicken as a pet. Pampers it just like a dog.

People develop emotional attachments to all kinds of animals, so that some would kiss pet chickens doesn't surprise me in the least.

 

[Gaer]

OK! I won't kiss any chickens!

 

[Lewkat]

Boy, are my chickens' feelings going to be hurt over this.

 

[RadishRose]

Can they kiss each other?

 

[garyt1957]

I could do a joke about choking said chicken but it would be in bad taste.

 

[Keesha]

Geez. Thank goodness I saw this warning.
Ewwww…. Who kisses chickens?
Never mind.
I don’t actually want to know.

 

[Keesha]

Can they kiss each other?

I’d rather they do.

 

[Judycat]

Kissing chickens now. Wonderful.

 

[Sunny]

Outrageous! They're taking all the fun out of life!

 

[Giantsfan1954]

Live chickens, stuffed chickens, frozen chickens???????
Good grief, why would you kiss one of those stupid, smelly critters!

 

[Judycat]

If you could translate the clucking of chickens into English, from the pic I'd guess they'd all be saying. What? What? What?

...I'll try to restrain myself.

 

[ohioboy]

Can't kiss Chickens? Which ones? Blonde, Brunette or Redhead?

 

[fmdog44]

I don't pay them $20 for a kiss!

 

[JonDouglas]

Every time I go out to feed the birds, the feral chickens come running. I had no idea they wanted to make out.

 

[Ruthanne]

And I was just dying to kiss some chickens....I'll have to settle with parakeets.
