Redditor Gets Applauded For Refusing To Get Rid Of Her Pet Chicken Because It Makes Her Neighbor Uncomfortable

by Maryjane

Chickens may be viewed by some as purely farm creatures. However, keeping pet chickens in a house in a city or suburb is fairly common as long as local laws allow it.

Choose from a variety of poultry breeds, such as Silkies, Rhode Island Reds, Easter Eggers, and Brahmas. The colors and sizes of the varieties vary too.

Chickens are relatively peaceful and easy-to-care-for pets. They do require some room for housing, but their diet is fairly simple, and in exchange for your assistance, they typically give you fresh eggs.

Since chickens live in sociable flocks, you should purchase more than one. If handled gently, beginning at an early age, they can learn to feel at ease around people.

Many pet chickens appreciate being petted and being around their caregivers. While some don't mind being lifted up, others would rather not be restrained.

The OP's pet chicken, Lucy, is one who loves to follow the OP around the house and garden, and they love having her around. However, the OP's neighbor has complained several times that the chicken's presence makes her uncomfortable and that the OP should get rid of it.

The OP tried to be understanding, but the neighbor still wanted Lucy to go. Of course, no one will let go of their beloved pet that easily, and the OP was determined to keep her pet around.

Chickens can be peaceful, relatively low-maintenance companions. Additionally, they usually give you an excess of eggs, and you'll have the assurance that the eggs came from well-treated animals.

However, chickens do require a unique housing arrangement and some room to wander. The OP provided all these, so Redditors couldn't help but make the final verdict in her favor.
