Backyard Chicken Friends
March 8th, 2010
Hens are fun to keep as pets. Chicken’s usually are friendly and aren’t very loud, although they make make some sounds when laying eggs, otherwise they are for the most part quite. Roosters on the other hand can be very loud. Roosters will not just crow each morning either, many roosters might crow the whole day long. In the event that you would like keeping chickens for eggs, its not necessary to have roosters to get eggs, hens can lay eggs with a rooster or without a rooster. Having said that if you’d like your hens to raise chicks you will need a rooster.
House is also a necessity. Find out what you need to look for when looking at chicken coop designs for happy and healthy chickens. Small chicken coop designs are great for keeping a backyard flock. If you are looking for something more portable then a chicken tractor may be what you are looking for.
