Chickens are great! They are gentle and won't peck, and you can pet and cuddle them! A bonus is that they lay eggs for about two years, and depending on the breed, you can get up to one egg a day (it adds up quickly- I have six). Certain breeds also lay blue or green eggs, if you are into stuff like that. And when they get old and stop laying eggs, you can butcher See More▼ and eat them. While being great pets that you can pet and cuddle, they also give back to you! The only downsides are that they are VERY messy, going through food quickly and dumping some on the floor.
