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
