Once established, chickens don’t demand much. Expect 15 to 20 minutes a day for feeding, watering, and collecting eggs. That’s less time than scrolling TikTok.
But weekly? Budget an hour for cleaning the coop, checking for mites, and refreshing bedding. Think of it as a low-key spa day for you and the flock.
Fun fact: Chickens can recognize up to 100 different faces—yours included. So yes, they know you’re the one bringing the mealworms.
