Yes, it is legal to own chickens in Texas! However, local city ordinances, HOA rules, and zoning laws may have restrictions on the number of chickens you can keep, whether roosters are allowed, and coop placement. It’s always a good idea to check with your local government or HOA before setting up your flock. Want help figuring it out? Let us know your city, and we can look up the specific regulations for you!

The monthly cost of owning two chickens can vary depending on factors like feed, bedding, and healthcare, but here’s a rough breakdown:
Estimated Monthly Costs for 2 Chickens
Feed (layer pellets, scratch grains, or treats): $10–$20
Bedding (straw, pine shavings, etc.): $5–$10
Grit & Calcium (oyster shells): $2–$5
Water & Feed Supplements (like apple cider vinegar or probiotics): $2–$5
Miscellaneous (treats, enrichment, repairs, etc.): $5–$10
Total Estimated Cost per Month: $30–$60
This can fluctuate depending on your setup, if you free-range your chickens (reducing feed costs), or if unexpected vet visits are needed. But overall, chickens are pretty low-maintenance and cost-effective, especially with the bonus of fresh eggs!

Keeping chickens is pretty easy once you have a good setup! They’re low-maintenance compared to other pets, but they do require daily care and occasional upkeep. Here’s a quick rundown:
### Daily Care (5-10 minutes)
✅ Feed & fresh water
✅ Collect eggs
✅ Quick health check (make sure they’re active and happy)
### Weekly Care (15-30 minutes)
✅ Clean and refill food & water containers
✅ Add fresh bedding to the coop
✅ Check for signs of pests or illness
### Monthly/Seasonal Care (30-60 minutes)
✅ Deep clean the coop (replace all bedding, scrub surfaces)
✅ Check for wear and tear on the coop and fencing
✅ Provide seasonal care (extra shade in summer, insulation in winter)
### How Hard Is It?
🐔 Super Easy if you have a good setup, automatic feeders/waterers, and a secure coop.
🐔 Moderate if you prefer a hands-on approach with daily interaction and free-ranging.
🐔 A Bit Challenging if you're dealing with extreme weather, predators, or health issues.
Overall, chickens are fun, rewarding, and easier than most pets—plus, they give you fresh eggs! 🥚✨
