I believe that more than half of the world should have chickens. I think this because they help with a lot of things like fertilizer. And there are many ways to use them, for example, eggs, meat, pets, and of course, they will get rid of most bugs in the area. I know what you’re thinking, “How can you use them as fertilizer?” Well, you could use their manure in your garden as a natural fertilizer.

Chickens don’t bother you that much. All you have to do is buy chicken food and give them fresh water. To get rid of bugs, you have to let them outside. Make sure they don’t run away because that is the last thing you want. Not all chickens lay white eggs. Some lay brown. Some lay blue. And some lay speckled.
