Cage for indoor bantam chicken

[PrettyChicky25]

Hello, I have one bantam chicken that lives indoors with me. She has been staying in a pet tent but I wanted to get her something bigger. I found a website that has these cages you can put together and I was about to buy one, but wanted to run it by the people on this forum because you give really good advice!

I was thinking about getting the 3x3 white rabbit cage: https://kaveecage.net/products/c-and-c-cage-white-rabbit-usa-3x3?variant=44992211124394

I have parrots though and a dove and usually you wouldn't buy a cage that a bird could stick its head through. Has anyone kept a chicken in a cage like the one above or would that be a no go because of the bar spacing? She wouldn't be in this all day, just when I'm not home.

Thanks for any advice!

Not bad, but you'd be better off getting a dog kennel or building one. $190 is pretty high for that, there's not much to it
Any particular reason she lives inside? Special needs?

It looks flimsy and really pricey. But it's doable if you can't build one.

All the dog kennels I saw were either too small or too big. She has a small one for travel though. I wouldn't leave her in there. She's a fiesty bird and needs to be able to move around . My other three birds have these really nice white Kings Cages and she's in this pet tent I found on Amazon. I have been trying to find her something better, something that is about 3' x3' that looks nice and is more open than a zip up tent.

I found her outside this past January, sick with a fractured leg. I healed her up and now she lives inside with me. No one wanted her when she was sick and there is no way I'd give her up now. I love this bird more than anything!

It does look a little flimsy actually. I really just want to get her something nicer than what she has but it has to be like 3'x3' and preferably white.

Good for you helping her out.
However, chickens need [both mentally and physically] other chickens to be with, atleast two, and to be outside doing chicken things.
Is there a possibility of getting her friends and a nice little coop outside or are you in an apartment?

She's got two parrots and a dove that she is friends with. They hang out. I work from home so she can hang out with me too all day. I do get her outside but live in a condo. I've been looking at houses but this is the best I can do for now.

As long as the spacing is large enough to stick her head through and retract it easily, I don’t see a problem re: bar spacing - but larger than 3x3 would be better as it allows room for toys etc…
Since you posted over 2 months ago, what did you end up getting?

WabbitatI'm late to this party but I use a guinea pig cage(2x4) for my chicks, and my recent random chicken that turned up is a bantam OEGB(attacked by dogs). She fit perfect in there and you can buy additional add on hitch boxes that fit with the cage. I think this is the one I have. Midwest Homes for Pets Deluxe Rabbit & Guinea Pig Cage (not sure about linking things yet!). The pic ia when i first set her up and i dont have the ass on box.
