So are mine. They were already grown, laying eggs, and trained to go in the coop at night. Very low maintenance. Much easier than cleaning up after 5 dogs!
I've had chickens for 2 weeks, and they are so much fun!
Bought 6 1yr old hens (already laying) and 1 rooster. After their move, they made themselves right at home and started laying right away.
My husband warned me from the beginning that they were livestock, and he was planning on using them...
