Chickens are wonderful and intelligent birds. With their silly antics and strange appearance, they are a delightful addition to any backyard.


If you are looking for a perfect indoors pet chicken, look no further than this article!

Best pet chickens:

  • Silkies: With their small size and calm demeanor, silkies make great pets. They are very intelligent and sweet; even the roosters are docile
  • They require a warm and dry living space with plenty of room
  • They need to be bathed often, as they can get dirty and are prone to pasty-butt
  • As with all chickens, they need a cool place to go to get out of the heat
  • Make sure to have a safe place for them to roost, eat, and drink
  • Provide cold water and high-quality food at all times
  • Make sure that all other pets get along with the silkie
  • Provide a low roost to prevent leg injuries




  • Cochins: Cochins, like silkies, are docile and small, making them great pets
  • Provide a spacious coop with ventilation
  • Cochins eat ALOT, so monitor eating to ensure they don't choke or get overweight
  • provide regular dust baths, as with their many feathers they are prone to mites and other pests
  • They also need low roosts, as they have short legs
  • Provide fresh, clean water and high-quality food
  • Provide additional protein and vitamins




Remember, every chicken is an individual, and require love and attention!
