The vermin would be my issue. When I had the aviaries I was for ever putting traps down for mice.We have had chickens for a good few years. Foxes, flies, rats, mice. Its not all good, I'm afraid. Then the lazy slags go on strike for no reason so you end up just feeding them until they decide to start laying eggs again.
But I eat a lot of eggs so its a good way of knowing where they come from and what food was given etc
I don't really know what a millennial is if I'm being completely honest!
I've kept chickens for a few years and they aren't cost effective if you just look at the cost of eggs.I think i'd like to have a go with chickens at some point. Never really looked into it before but any food you can grow or make yourself seems to be a good idea.
Not sure how cost effective these things are in reality.

However they also clear pests, eat your waste fruit and veg, break down weeds and grass clippings from your garden and their poo and bedding help make great compost. They are also funny and relaxing to watch.
The eggs are a bonus really.
