Chickens are easy! Chicks are a bit hard, in my experience, but we could have had bad stock for all i know. We kept our chickens in a 10×20 run we originally built for the dogs, but they learned how to open the gate and get out (darn labs!). Had a bowl full of feed and two bowls of water, both replaced daily. Also gave them stake crackers and non-sugary stale cereals. They loved Cheerios! They would hunt moths in the grass for whatever protein they needed on top of their feed, as well. A chicken stalking a bug has got to be the greatest thing anyone can ever see LOL basically, once adults, chickens are pretty low maintanence, and make really interesting pets. Plus you gets eggs, and who can’t use eggs??
