Hi, my 6 year old daughter would love some pets. We can't have a dog as we like to go out and about a lot and would be restricted by the dog. My daughter has always been scared of cats and we live neer a road.

Do chickens make good pets? I think they'd be educational and it'd be good to have fresh eggs. What is it like to keep them? Do they need a lot of attention? Would they churn up the grass? and are they noisy?

It's between chickens and guinny pigs at the moment. Grin

How funny. I like the 'how the hell did I get up here' look she gave!

My next door neighbours keep lots of chickens. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but we seem to get a lot of flies in our house if we have the windows open. A friend says that it's because of the chickens next door - is she right??
