Chickens Make Better Pets Than Meals
Chickens can be great pets. Keeping chickens as pets is much more humane than eating them for meat. Owning chickens can be a great experience. Although the majority of pet chickens are females, many also keep roosters as backyard pets.
Caring for chickens means that you should provide them with excellent shelter, especially at night, so they will be protected from predators. You should monitor your pet chickens the same way you would watch any pet. Your job as owner is to protect and care for them. One thing to watch for with female chickens is egg binding, which may be indicated by hen who hasn’t been able to lay eggs in several days. It is important to contact the vet in this case.
