    Thank you for the very detailed answer. I can tell you have being taking good care of your birds as you speak so fondly of them.

    I will show my child your answer so they can read all the implications that you so kindly shared and maybe have a talk about what having a pet chicken entails.

      I would add that chickens are somewhat dusty birds - it comes from their dander. So if you don’t already have a good one I’d invest in an air purifier.

      Also in addition to marans, buff orpingtons are called the golden retriever of chickens for a reason. Very sweet and easy going. I miss my Tillie bird
