best housing, feed, protection, ect. for pet chickens!?


okay so I finally decided to get a chicken. I was thinking getting two would be better so they’re not alone. I live in texas so it gets hot so what breed would be better with the heat? Which breeds are less likely to try and fly? Would they be okay in a pen with rabbits? I have a very large fenced spot with a 5 foot high fence that I keep all of my pet rabbits in and they love it and I think a chicken would have a nice live there also. I have a rabbit hutch with a nest box and a ramp to get into it. Would that be a okay place for them to lay eggs? What is the best food to feed them as chicks and then as adults? I have not had any problems with predators getting to my rabbits so I don’t think there would be any harm towards the chickens either. I have a lot of shaded spots and water supply out there.. I have never owned a chicken before but have family that has. I did own ducks before but I do not know how similar they’re to each other.

Can a pet chicken run in fenced backyard without a smaller pen?


We’d like to have a pet chicken. We’ll probably use a rabbit hutch for the nest. Can we let the chicken run free in the entire backyard, which is fenced, in the daytime, if I keep her in the hutch at night? What predators are in so cal cities, the only wild animals I’ve seen near here are possum, rats, cats and dogs. Can a hen stay in her rabbit hutch nest for a week while on vacation, (if someone feeds her), or is that too stressful?

Someone keeps on reporting my questions, so I’m doing an experiment. Hopefully I have all u guys as witnesses that this is a perfectly legit question. What are some good names for my 2 new pet chickens??? They are REALLY cute! They are Rhode-Island Reds and are pretty much the same shade of brownish-red, with a few black markings on their heads and yellow and black wings.
This question is legit, right????
