Chickens are often regarded as the “must-have” form of livestock for your farm.

Why?

Not only are they excellent at producing eggs, but they can also be a wonderful source of meat, fertilizer, and free weeding services, too.

However, many people overlook the fact that chickens are also great companions to have on the homestead as pets.

These delightful creatures offer backyard chicken keepers the opportunity to learn a little bit more about sustainability and life itself – plus, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide variety of other rewards that no other pet can provide.
