I think I'd have to disagree with you there, D. I had a chicken named Foghorn Leghorn once (I know, I know... he's a rooster), and she had all kinds of personality. She would let me pick her up and pet her -- I could even feed her from my hand, unless she hadn't eaten in a while. Then it was better to throw a few handfulls out and get inside as quickly as possible.
I lived in a rent house on a ranch that stabled several different people's horses, and she'd hang out in the barn until she saw my suburban pull into the road. I'd see her run as fast as those 7 toes would let her (she lost a toe in a fight with some cats), all the way to the house to meet me. I was really sad the day I came home to find her dead on my doorstep. (I'm thinking someone in the barn didn't like her, although the owner claimed a horse might've trampled her.)
