Preening is a natural and important for chickens to do most days, it keeps their feathers clean and looking good, they are not sniffing their backside.
Good looking feathers, help to protect them from the weather and water, regulate their temperature, and protect their sensitive areas, they also get rid of the stuff like the dirt and pest.
Why is it called Preening?
They have a oil gland called a "Preen" gland near their tail, they use the oil to waterproof and groom their feather.
It's sort of like chicken hair gel.... made near their bum.
Chicken Always want what the other chickens have... until they have something better, then they all of sudden non-sharers.
Reminds me of a friend I went to dinner that state on arriving at a restaurant " I don't share food"
That only lasted the first course.
Picnics with the chickens!!
What a way to spend the holidays day.
