Yes chickens can bond with there owner. But usally only if you have them from a chick,or you could have an adult chicken that is a calm breed like silkies and Slutans wich are natuarly calm. I have 2 light brahma pullets(under a year old female) and 1 brahma cockrel(under a year male)(brahma) This breed are gentle giants! Then there is my first chicken named pearl and she is a WCB(White Crested Black) polish hen. She will fallow me when I go looking for things for her to eat ,like: Worms,bugs. You should look these breeds up. I have not really had any experiance on chickens playing but it's posible. If you need any more info on chickens post another message.
