Accurate, but not as hard as people think.

Like anything we do, there is a bit of nuance to take care of chickens. We have racoons and hedgehogs here to contend with, it also gets cold enough we may have to provide a heating lamp. Your situation might differ.

In the end, once you get established its not that hard. At the very least the family will get an education on where eggs come from, and what it takes to keep birds alive.
