Oh, but chickens are very easy to take care of, especially as adults! The hardest part is getting a secure coop and run ready ahead of time XD Just make sure they have enough space and feed, water, and grit available and they'll pretty much take care of themselves. If you use deep litter in the coop, you just rake it around and only clean it all out once or twice a year.
I have nine adults, we just got seven new babies, and four more adults are coming later in the summer
(Inside pets are three cats and about a dozen fish)
