When I was in elementary school, we hatched chicken eggs a few times as part of school lessons. When they were hatched, I got to take the whole litter home over the weekend a couple of times.
My parents let me adopt a couple of them over the years. They were so cute. When they were young, we had them in the house in a breathable box. Then, my Dad built a chicken coop. They did make good pets.
The last one I adopted had a surprise for us. It turned out to be a rooster! After several mornings with neighbors complaining about the new neighborhood alarm clock, we made a trade for a chicken with our friend who was a farmer.
