If you want them to be healthy you will have to make sure they are getting enough calcium and nutrients, making eggs is hard work! They need a safe warm place to be every night and their coops need to be cleaned daily. They are easy keepers for the most part, and I love my girls, but they do require work everyday.

Otherwise I agree! Chickens can be kept almost anywhere and will surpise you with their personalities and cute chicken antics. Mine will sit on my lap and take treats from my hand like little dogs!
