This document debunks several common myths about chicken keeping: 1) Contrary to belief, chickens are actually easy to care for and require only food and shelter; they do not need constant attention. 2) While roosters can be noisy, chickens themselves are quite quiet - about as loud as normal human conversation. 3) A hen can lay eggs without a rooster present; roosters are only needed to fertilize eggs for reproduction. 4) Chickens do not necessarily lay an egg every day; their egg production depends on breed and health factors.
