Nowadays, chickens have become increasingly popular as pets in both suburban and urban areas. But you need to know things before rasing a pet chicken coz different breeds of chickens have not only different appearances, but also different temperaments, disease resistances, and egg-laying abilities. Depending on the breed, eggs may be white, brown, blue, green, or even pink!
Chickens are not legal everywhere. Double check your state laws before purchasing one.
Sunlight is critical to backyard chickens and they should have access to direct sunlight.
As chickens age, their food and nutrition needs to be adjusted.
