Yeah but chickens are awesome pets. It’s like having a herd of miniature dinosaurs.
They have unique personalities (chickenalities?), too. That might be in my imagination because sometimes I like to get high and hang out with them and give them dialogue.
They’re also amazing pest control! You’ll immediately find your yard completely free of grasshoppers, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and practically any other crawling think because those fuckers are vicious and will eat all of them.
My sister got chickens in her adulthood. We didn’t grow up with them or anything. I went over a few years ago and saw her chickens all meandering wherever they wanted in her backyard while she tried to herd them all to their pen I was able to catch one of them and put her in their pen. It did kind of remind me of mini-dinos though.
You really don’t have to herd them…they’ll put themselves back in every night when it starts getting dark.
When they are little and getting used to it, they might need a reminder…but as long as I leave the door open for them when they free range, they find their way back to the coop.
They also don’t wander too far. They’ve got a few social gathering spots in the yard but they never really jump the fence. Last time it happened was because the coop door blew shu before she could get in and she was trying to find shelter for the night.

Mosquitos? How does that work?
Small puddles of water will be places where mosquito larvae are deposited
