i LOVE chickens! i have chicken stuff all over my room. my parents just told me a could get a chicken or two. i'm not 100% sure on how to house them, feed them, etc.

what do i feed chicks/chickens?
where do i house them?
what is the best kind of chicken to keep as a pet?

i've got an area in the back yard i'm going to fence off for them. i just gotta keep the cats out!
