People also ask, do chickens need daily care?
Although low-maintenance, chickens do require a small amount of daily care as well as some monthly and semi-annual maintenance. Plan on spending 10 minutes a day on your pet chickens, an hour or so per month, plus a few hours twice a year on semi-annual chores.
One may also ask, are chickens hard to care for?
Caring for chickens isn't hard, but it is a commitment. Ask yourself these questions to see whether you're ready. I know you'll find, like me, that having a flock - no matter how small - is a great experience. They're fun, they're great stress relievers and they produce the most fantastic, healthy eggs.
Part 5 Providing Other Routine Care
- Let the chickens in and out of their coop.
- Collect the chickens' eggs each day.
- Clean the coop daily.
- Check on your chickens daily.
- Provide dry dirt or sand for your chickens to dust bathe in.
- Bathe your chickens if necessary.
