Chickens are obviously the best pet, they:

1. Poop free eggs

2. Eat your leftover vegetables

3. Poop free fertiliser for your garden

4. Are good alarm clocks

5. Make hilarious sounds

6. Are stupid looking

7. G*mers get their own real life Chocobos

Chickens used to be a staple of the home during the great depression. Most working-class people from the silent generation had chickens to give them free eggs. Chickens are the pet of the proletariat.

The entire reason the rich don't want you to be able to afford a house with a backyard is that they don't want you to figure out how awesome having chickens is.
