2000 years ago

If I lived 2000 years ago and I had to choose between having a cow, hourse or a dozen chickens I would choose a dozen chickens. The reason I picked a dozen chickens is because you can use chickens for many things. Chickens can be sold for different products or eatten. The chickens eggs can be sold or eatten as well. There will be a surpluse amount of chickens because they reproduce in high numbers. They are small animals that need little space to live and just an area to move about themselfs. The cow or hourse needs lots of room to move around also, they need lots of food to stay strong and healthy. Chickens need little food and will be easier to feed a bigger amount. Chickens usally are quiet but sometimes you may hear clamor coming from the area where they stay. All I have to say is chickens would be the better option if I had to survive off of it.
