while your life may not be glamorus I would still rather be out in the philipeans or some central/south american place with plenty of animals and enough space to live and even if it took work I would be happy.
everyone says theres are mean and flighty mine was a little angel not perfectly tame but was ok with handling/catching not mean to anything or anyone. She wasnt the best standerd of the breed more of a 3rd place bird but sill over all nice

So my chicken...Chicken is one naughty little prat shes a sphitz if it matters but she cries so much, when shes hunger, upset, tired, wants to go out, wants attiention. Basically when she feels her needs are not being met. She never used to be this way but I think we might have spoilded...
you should probably change it to a 10x8 because you will end up with more chickens its how it always works. But anyways will you birds be free ranging during the day or penned/locked up?
