Chickens make good pets for many reasons. First of all, chickens act like miniature recycling plants. They will eat biomass that normally ends up in landfills. After eating this, they will produce eggs.
Chickens will also eat many garden pests. This eliminates the need for pesticides, which reduces damage to the environment caused by chemical runoff.

Chickens also provide fresh food. Studies show that these eggs contain up to 1/3 less cholesterol, up to 1/4 less saturated fat, and up to 6 times more Vitamin D than regular store-bought eggs.

Unlike other common pets, chickens are not a danger to other human beings. Even if a chicken goes crazy, the maximum damage that can do is peck and scratch people. This may slightly hurt you, but that’s all.

Another benefit of keeping chickens as pets is that they can help educate children who don’t know where food come from. According to statistics, only 67% of young adults associated eggs with chickens. If chickens are allowed as pets, then more kids would know where eggs come from.
