They have to have space and be fed. That doesn't sound lazy to me. I just keep them in the basement and throw a few seeds down there every once in a while after "harvesting" most of them. That's lazy!

I have a two story chicken "barn" with the top story well above the main floor. At the top are pairs of chickens crammed into little spots with piles of seeds. They drop eggs like mad! I use Hanging Braziers to keep the bottom floor warn and the chicken count had gotten completely out of hand whilst I was fighting through some Infested Mines.

On a good note though, kicking chickens will kill two at once if you turn on friendly fire and my "Fists" skill is now way up! (No longer defenseless while swimming!)
