I received my chickens as a mother's day gift, after lobbying for years to get them.  I have not been disappointed.  I LOVE my girls.  They are sociable, funny, have distinct personalities and each time I gather the eggs (which is every morning, mind you) I get a little thrill as I am witness to this simple miracle.  Also, the eggs are without compare.  I cannot over emphasize how disgusting store bought eggs taste to me now.  One more thing... our birds initially free ranged all over our yard, and neighbors came out of the woodwork to tell us their stories of growing up with chickens.  It was very sweet.  I would advocate for anyone to get chickens.. it has been an absolutely wonderful experience!
