I am definitely the poultry addict here...I wanted chickens for years and finally got them last year.My DH likes them well enough,gives them occasional treats and will help at times clean the coop.My DD will do what I ask,when I ask (with the typical pre-teen rolling of the eyes
but she does love the chickens.Her twin brother is definitely interested in the chickens.He picked feeding,watering and egg collecting as his chores each day.He also does duck chores too.My 17 YO son has OCD and says chickens are dirty,vile,nasty birds that poop on EVERYTHING...but the BR's are kinda cool,Mom!
He will absolutely NOT do chicken chores!
So basically,it's most of us doing some things,DH mixes all the feed,DS feeds,waters,collects eggs,DD does what's needed whenever,and I do the heavy duty stuff like cleaning the coop(and making sure it's done right).I also will do any of the aforementioned chores,just because I LIKE them.I find it relaxing to do chicken chores
All in all though,I am the addict in the family but am training two of the kids to be chicken addicts as well
