Chickens would have made popular pets if they are better looking

Perhaps I'm odd but I think chickens are cute in their own way. I actually know a few people who live in the suburbs and keep a pet chicken or two. Of course they all have huge back yards for the chickens to roam. My dad's aunty actually has a chicken that likes following people around.

I think they make great pets and of course there is the added bonus of having freshly laid eggs. Although I'm not sure I could eat them ha ha.

Roosters however are another story. I know of one person who adopted a rooster and it wakes the whole neighbourhood up each morning at dawn without fail.
