Chickens are soooo soft I love petting them (even if they sometimes have fleas). I'd send you a video of parrots enjoying a wash from a garden hose but I know you like your dirt.
Peak moment in childhood was when I put one of our chickens on my lap and pet her a long while, and then when I put her down to get up, she turned right around and hopped back up onto my lap ๐ญ
So my family's chickens are old and a bit skittish (they weren't super socialized when they were young) except for one. This hen hurt her leg at some point and couldn't walk very well for a week so my sister would carry her around, to the water dish, food etc. Since she recovered over a year ago she is the only hen who lets everyone pick her up. She'll even run out to see people and will stand on your shoe until you carry her.
