How much care do chickens require?
Chickens need regular attention but they are a very low-maintenance pet. • A daily check at feeding time and when collecting eggs, allows you to be familiar with individual birds, making it easy to identify any that might be off colour. Early treatment often eliminates potential problems and even losses. • Ensure the birds always have water. • Change bedding regularly, how often will depend on how many birds and space allocation. • Housing will need a thorough clean-out, including disinfect and de-louse every couple of months.
