My family and I just recently moved out into the country where we have some land. Last spring we decided that we would get our children some baby chicks. It has been a great experience for all of us, we love our chickens. They are no longer chicks anymore, we let them run around during the day and lock them in a coop at night for their own safety.
When it comes to feeding the chickens, we feed them chicken scratch from our local feed store every morning and night. During the day the chickens walk around and eat bugs that they find. Having chickens for pets has been a pleasant experience and a very low manitance pet. The feed cost $8 for a 50lb. bag that last for about 2 weeks. They are cheaper than a dog and they give you eggs to eat. Some of my chickens even enjoy a cuddle and they respond to their names.
