Chickens have a mind of their own, they are messy, mean, and super smelly. But they have their positives, they are adorable, they are small, and they make food. So how do you live with chickens? Well, there are many ways you can. You can get a chicken coop, have them in your freezer, have them be free-range chickens, or you can be a crazy chicken lady that keeps them in their house. But for me, I think the best idea is to have them be free-range chickens because that way you get healthier chickens that have healthier eggs, which means healthier people.
How do you feed your chickens?
How do you feed your chickens? Well, there are many ways to feed them. There are so many different types of food and treats. But with my chickens, I would give them fruits and veggies. And keep their water clean and fresh, make sure it’s filtered. Don’t give them treats. That’s a big thing unless it is natural and good for your chickens. But always make sure you are doing your research on it, and don’t just go off of the first thing you read, make sure you go to many different websites to make sure you’re getting the best thing possible for your chickens.
How do you know if your chickens are healthy?
There are many ways. But it’s by the way they walk. Are they sleeping all the time, are they tired, or are they not eating? If so then you need to change what you’re feeding them, make sure you’re letting them out of their chicken coop to run around, and make sure their water is clean. But if your chickens are always running around, not always sleeping, and they have tons of energy. Chickens are most likely very happy.
Why am I even listening to this crazy chicken lady?
Well, because I have had almost nine chickens, two ducks, and two turkeys. And they were all healthy and happy. And they loved kids; they would never peck because we fed them good food and made sure their water was always clean, we made sure that they were out of the chicken coop as much as possible, but most of all we loved them. I mean yeah we were going to eat one of them … or more, but we made sure we were outside with them. So that once we did eat them, they tasted good and we knew they were happy chickens.
Now that you know how to take care of chickens, go get some. But first, get a chicken coop.
