Same thing. Got 6 chickens. Good eggs, plus a fun hobby. They're surprisingly intelligent and curious.

Yeah it was my wife's idea, but I've grown to love them. Now that we have a huge run set up it's like clockwork, definitely was some work raising them from chicks and building everything, but I had fun with it.

It's hard to kill & eat them after you know them, and they must take some preparation that people aren't used to these days - plucking, etc. I guess if you're up for it that's great.

Most people I know keep them for the eggs, not meat. They’re like pets.
