No special care is needed for chick and hens, except to enjoy them -- no fancy soil or fertilizer, although I have read that they prefer a sandy soil. Mine are in part-shade and get the west sun from about 12:30 pm to 6:00 pm. The rock that some of my chicks live in does have drainage on the bottom for when it rains heavily. Chick and hens don't like being waterlogged. Being a succulent, they prefer being on the dry side and are extremely drought tolerant. This is great because if you forget to water them, no worries! I'm confident that just about anyone can grow chick and hens, no matter what their garden skills are.
