Our chickens are always incredibly pleased to see us when we come in from work or get them up in the morning or even when they just wander into the house and find us ... they usually run over and then do like a little tap dance on the spot ..... are they normal and is there any sensible reason for this behaviour?

My kraienkoppe does this if she can't find any mealworms in her supper! I think with her it's more like a tantrum though.
