Chickens are easy to make into pets. We had some years ago that we raised to eat, and had them trained to come running when we "peeped" to call them. My MIL has a fancy tiny chicken she keeps in with her laying hens as a pet. My students are taking a test, and eg’s first site just made me laugh out loud.

I have two portraits of Clark here. Italians don't understand as I show them the family portraits that among them is a rooster. Since Clark was a grown man when he was adopted, and it has been 6.5 years, I expect he is no more. RIP. It looks to me that there are chicken fanciers in every country, so people who want one should Google it up and get a pair. Just make sure they've a safe place to be kept at night. They have many enemies-- or perhaps just a different sort of fancier. Do I miss Clark? I have two portraits of Clark here.

I have a cat, a ferret and 4 dogs...hmmmm...not so sure the chicken wouldn't become a nice snack to taste something different from the usual dry food :) If those cute chicken could be trained to do their business in the litter box I would get one…hey wait!
