[QUOTE="Sailfish_WC, post: 487785, member: 31597"] We live in the city. We’re allowed 4 or 6 (I forget now) We bought a small coop just for nesting and nighttime The good: They are really funny. Raise them, hold them, befriend them and they’ll imprint on you and they’ll be like a dog when they see you. We had 4, all with a unique personality. Once they started laying we’d get 3 or 4 eggs every day. They were enjoyable. The bad: responsibility. We travel a lot for sports and dance. It was tough getting help morning and night to unlock and lock them in the coop. They are dumb. They poop. EVERYWHERE. we were good that we have artificial grass so it was easy to pick up. But it’s everywhere. They destroy all ornamental plants. They dig under the pavers. They can be loud around egg-laying time. We had a predator get one of ours but somehow she survived and was kind Wierd after that. Def a commitment. Not for everyone. After a year old the daughter had nothing to do with them. We sent them to a farm when they were 2 It didn’t really cost much overall to feed. We gave them a ton of veggie/fruit Scraps and feed [/QUOTE]
