The trend in the UK is to keep chickens as garden birds
In the same way you would get a pond and some fish
As an ornamental thing to look at and make the garden look nice!
It seems crazy but I guess the frizzles and silkies look so ornamental
In a weird way I can see why they are popular
I still think its a bit mad though, even though mine are just pets , the certainly don't improve my garden! I've had to use a third of my garden as a run 7 ft high 20 ft long
My grass is dead, I've got a second enclosed coop as a transition house for the little ones into the run, it's taken over, I love it because it looks rural and farm cottagy but if I had a stunning garden I think chickens would be the last thing I'd put in it to make it look attractive,
