Re: Cuteness Overload!
So cute! I want to get some eggs and hatch them but then I'd have full sized chickens eventually and my mom would never let me build a coop. Plus we don't have a lot of land. Are they dirty?

Well they are birds so they can make a mess however if you limit yourself to two (they are social and should have a companion) it's not bad at all.
I clean their coop once a week, monitor their water daily when checking for eggs, re-fill food once a week as well and that's about it.
Having the waterer and feeder suspended help reduce the mess and amount of cleaning.
They can make great pets and the bonus is that you have fresh eggs each day.

Cool, maybe I'll get some in the future. About how many eggs do the two lay a day? What age do they start laying?

The number of eggs depends on the breed, from 1 egg a week (which is poor) to about 4 or 5 a week.
They usually start laying around 25 weeks.
This site has a great resource of info on care and breeds http://www.mypetchicken.com/about-chickens/
Warning though fancy chickens are like snakes they can be addictive
