You'd be surprised how well chickens will adapt to taking care of themselves...once they are grown....little chicks sometime won't survive cats and such....but survivors learn from the ones that don't...they can fly and are able get underway quite quick if allowed to learn how......I have had chickens a few times over the yrs and have been surprised more than once at their defensive abilities........can't learn that stuff cooped up all the time though.......gotta have the freedom...to fly, live and learn......just like us.....

Yeah you probably have to keep 'em cooped until they get some size..but they don't cost much to replace either, if you loose a few....really cut down on ground bugs of all kinds......once you get a couple big ones they take care of the little guys.....

We always had chickens when I was growing up. Always had rats in the coop too. Clean them out a month later they were back every time.

I have thought about getting some now that I am always home.

The ones I had were more wild than domesticated .....give em a high place to go at night and water and let 'em fend for themselves during the warm months...... come and go as they please.....that way here is no buildup of things that will attract rats.....so much....
