have always fancied keeping a few chickens - are they difficult to keep? Would like them to be friendly as well as lay me some lovely eggs

Some of mine are too friendly They follow me around and try to get into the house every time the door is open.
They are not difficult to keep at all.As long as they get good food and fresh water to drink, have a good shelter for roosting and kept clean thats all they need and will reward you with fresh eggs

I had a turkey hen kind of like that. She followed me around like a dog and thought she was my "protector". If a chicken, duck, or even my REAL dog tried to get too close to me when she was around, she'd attack. She got to where she'd try to sleep on the porch since she couldn't be in the house, but my grandma put a stop to that with her broom.
