November 5, 2014 was an illustrious day in chickendom.  Melissa Caughey of Tilly’s Nest began “Hug A Chicken Day” four years ago with wonderful success.  Seems we chicken lovers like to show the love! This year there were huggers all over showing their love on this special day.  Sure we all love on and spoil our chickens most everyday but this day is honoring all the love we give our feathered family members.

There were quite a few other chicken web sites and Facebook pages that participated by doing giveaways on their pages Pet Chicken Ranch, Sarah Hudock’s Lighthearted Art, Gardens & Chickens & Worms, Oh My!, to name a few, and even Manna Pro got in on the action.  Check out more of the wonderful Hug A Chicken Day sponsors here!

Here are some wonderful chicken hugging photo highlights from this year’s “Hug A Chicken Day!” Feel free to share and if we missed anyone, please go to our Community Chickens Facebook page and post your photo!
