That soft clucking is very calming. They are so wonderful to have around. Only downside is they do poop a LOT. But if one had a grassy area for them to live in, they would eat the grass and bugs and the poop would fertilize the grass, so it all works out. If we sit with ours, they will jump on our laps to be pet. And the eggs are superb—deep golden yolks, and perfect for baking breads and so on. It would be nice if more people would consider them as pets and a source for healthy eggs. I would much rather have an egg from a chicken that I know is happy and gets good food than a random one living on a concrete floor...
