Every year my mother bought a dozen Rhode Island Reds and I raised them from day one chicks to adults. A couple would become  pets with names. They would sit on my lap and sing. …yes…chickens do sing their very own chicken songs. Since we lived on a farm, they could live out their lives after their egg laying careers were over. 

I can see that urban chickens could become nice family pets after their egg laying days ended. Chickens are interesting, just as most of nature’s wonderful creatures.
