My Pet Chickens

Through the years I have raised many breeds of chickens, ducks and turkeys. My birds are for pets and eggs but I've also had show birds. I'm addicted!!!

@strontium141 hi, most of my chickens live 4-6 years but I just lost an 11 year old Plymouth Barred Rock Hen! wow, I raised her from an egg! (and I miss her!). The red hens usually live about 5 years though, good luck!

really Really want some chickens. I can buy the whole run and pen combi thing but i have no grass in my tiny yard :( could u still keep chickens just on the shavings and maybe make a small patch of grass for them to graze on? say 1 metre square? btw your chickens are awsome lol

I have friends that raise chickens in pens, not free-range like mine, and they do well! They have only the ground, no grass but they don't seam to mind it. I'm sure your chickens would be fine! Shavings will get moldy if they become wet though, I wouldn't put that on the ground outside, the plain ground should be fine! Good luck, you'll have a blast. Thank you on your compliments, I love all chickens!

Nice flock looks like you love your birds a lot. Chickens are very underrated as pets. Thanks for posting this.

I love your chickens! I notice that your silkies have less fluff covering their eyes...

My love of the chicken species is two-fold...: one as an excellent source of edible protein, and one for a pet.
