Out of normal pets: cats are most self sufficient. I tried having a fish and it’s too hard to take care of and hamsters kind of stink. Chickens are fun though!

My childhood hamster was nocturnal and spent most of the night running in exercise wheel. No matter how carefully we oiled it, the squeaking never went away. Chickens do seem like a good choice.

I have found that chickens are pretty easy to take care of. The poop factor is limited to the outdoors and their coop. And they’re fairly sociable if you raise them from chicks.

I have a post brewing about the best chicken I’ve ever had, this is inspiration.

I agree and they really don't need attention. And best of all, they sometimes lay eggs (although ours aren't the best layers). Looking forward to your post!
