we were given 3 chickens a couple months ago. We built a nice little coop and run for them. We live in a neighborhood on a 50x100 lot, and I’m sure chickens are off the pet list, but no one’s complained so far. We wanted them for eggs, but we’re really enjoying them! I’d like to have more, but that would really be pushing it. who knows what’s going to happen to the economy, so chickens were on my list. By the way, our dogs play with them some, and our cat sits on my lap and mostly ignores them when they’re wandering the yard. Amazing how animals in the same family can be “friends”.
Even more amazing when one of those animals is a cat! My cat does not like anyone. She acts like the thug of our yard, but we know she is afraid of the birds that come around to feed, even little finches. Finches!
