Can I ask you what made you get chickens as a pet.
Do they lay regularly.

We started with chickens because we wanted to rescue some ex battery hens. We had 2, they were lovely and we got so attached to them but they had so many problems. One died due to being so conditioned to lay that even when she had no eggs left she kept trying and eventually prolapsed. The other died soon after. It was heart breaking for the kids as they were so friendly and would sit on our laps. So we then got normal chooks so they lived longer, we didn't feel it was right to put the kids through that again.
They do lay every day now. They did slow down for a while but back up to full speed now.
