If they are gonna be outside pets, they'll probably be very easy to care for. If you plan on house training them, they'll take a bit more work. All three of mine are houstrained, it takes a lot of work, and alot of patience, but it pays off.
Jut wanted to introduce myself. I'm from S. California, and have 46 hens. They're all for eggs and hatching. Also have three mini pigs, but that's not what this site is about. I JUST barely figured out how to post, so if anyone has any tips about this site, I'd be very grateful.
