Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Keeping a Chicken - Things to Think About Before Adding a Chicken as a Pet

One of the more recent trends is keeping a
chicken as a pet. Although this is a recent
trend to many of us, the actual act of keeping
chickens as a sort of pet as been done for ages.

Many people who had farms in the past would have
one or more hens that they were particularly fond
of.

The reason for this is that like many animals
chickens do have personalities just like most
animals and they make wonderful pets. They can
be entertaining and fun to be around, and they
are inexpensive as far as pets go. They are also
easy to tend to and they even help to contribute
to their upkeep by laying eggs.

For those who have been contemplating the
possibility of keeping a chicken as a pet, there
are many things to consider. The first and
foremost is whether or not it is legal to have a
chicken in your area. There are laws that
regulate the types of animals one can keep in
certain areas of cities and towns.

It is important to make sure that having a
chicken will not break any laws.

Another consideration should be how well the
chicken will interact with the other members of
your family. This is especially important if you
already have other pets such as dogs and/or cats.
Some dogs and cats adjust well to a family who
has decided to keep a chicken, while others
assume them as their next meal.

You want to be sure that your current pets will
adapt to your new pet as a member of the family
rather than the source of their dinner. It is
also important to consider how the chicken will
interact with the children of the family as well.
Keeping a chicken as a pet should be safe for
both the chicken and the children.

As with adding any pet to your family you must
take some time and consider whether you really
have the time and resources available for keeping
a chicken as a pet. Although they do not require
a lot of care and maintenance they do require
some time from their owners and it is important
for one to evaluate whether or not they have the
time and money to care for the them properly.

Chickens do make wonderful pets if they are cared
for and played with on a regular basis. Whereas
they do need time outside, they also like time
with their owners and will become friendlier the
more time they spend with the family.
