I want some chooks too. I wonder if I got them when they're babies if I can train them to be friendly?

Be careful what you wish for 🙂  My last 2 were Rhode Island Red and so friendly they refused to live in their pen and every morning I would find them sitting on my back step.  Had to be careful not to step on them.  The problem was they also pooed on the patio and especially the door step.  They followed me everywhere, really wanted to come in the house, and would sit on my lap given half chance LOL.  If they did not have me they followed the dogs. 

They kept flying out of their pen even when I had a litter of pups, and I spent the day putting them back, but once I was not fast enough and .... well, 8 pups enthusiastically greeting hen was just too much for her. 

Having poultry also attracts rats.

That's pretty cool she ele, and even better that you know where your food comes from.

I don't think a lot of people really respect their food and what actually goes into getting it from the farm to the table. I think there would be a lot less waste if they did.

and I think that people would take a lot more care with their food too when preparing it etc, and really appreciate it.
