Yeah ofc! I have a small hobby farm and I’ve found that the less you stress it the happier you and your animals will be. Causes more harmony between you and they’re pretty go with the flow
I used to be all uptight about raising my babies, and let me tell you, they’ll be fine either way. I stop feeding chick feed when they look big enough to eat the big pellets 😂. And I keep food and water readily available at all times
Honestly just something that’ll be easy to make friendly and live a long time. I had a bunch of RIRs and ISA browns die from egg issues, I just want something that’s not prone to these issues
