I thought it would be fun to have a few chickens. I now have 1 hen, 9 pullets, 2 cockerels. I hope to one day move to Texas and hope with all my heart that I can get my contraband chickens successfully across the border when that time comes. For summer vacation, yes, they'll have to stay home (maybe at my aunts). But for a permanent move, it just wouldn't be the same to have to get all new chickens and rehome these lovely ladies.
