Everyone seems to have gotten them from some one who got them from someone else.
If you have an old pot or kettle or empty corner of a flower bed, they will settle in. They will spread the family around by forming little offsprings that can be readily transplanted to another old pot.
They are winter hardy and very undemanding. A very hot day summer may cause them to die back a bit, but they come back in good health in the fall. The winter may slow them a bit but not forever.
The yellow pot would have been better off with a little sealer, but it is ok. I got it from my mother's old house.
Incidentally, be sure there is a hole in the bottom of the pot so they won't drown.
Hen and chickens do well in the corner of a flower bed. In fact, I sometimes have to raid a flower bed to fill an empty spot in a pot.
