I own chickens. At home, my family has seven chickens. I gave them all names, and they are my good friends. You may think that taking care of chickens is easy, but sometimes chickens have minds of their own. If you are considering getting chickens, there are a few things you need to know.
The pecking order

The chickens figure out this order on their own. Putting chickens together is not easy. You have to make sure they all eat the same food. Otherwise, you have to keep them apart.
Caring for baby chicks
You must have patience for this. You need to feed them very good food to them, so they stay healthy and become immune to diseases. You also need a place for them to stay in your house and a special feeder and water holder. You can get day-old chicks, or you can get chicks that are 6 months and older. Also, you should clean the pen regularly, so neighbors don’t complain.
Anybody can have chickens
