    Are bantam breeds better suited for indoor setups?

    Parrots can also be very happy and enriched when kept in singles you just have to do it right. I’d argue many dogs are also frustrated and destructive from improper husbandry. My Belgian quail D’anver is an excellent indoor rooster, very sweet cuddly and shows no signs of distress. Certain...

    Are bantam breeds better suited for indoor setups?

    I have years and years of experience with lots of birds and yes they are flock animals but they will consider you their flock just like a parrot would. Of course the qol for the chicken is most important but in my experience its absolutely possible to have a happy enriched indoor chicken :)...

    Are bantam breeds better suited for indoor setups?

    I meant the general increase in aggression when they really start getting hormonal shifts, most roosters go through this and its up to genetics and general personality how bad it will be but from my experience it always happens in really all boy birds at some point. :) Edit: I meant to say they...

    Are bantam breeds better suited for indoor setups?

    Did you end up getting a little roo? I have experience with single indoor chickens as pets and personally think they’re amazing! As long as you spend enough time with them and give them foraging enrichment they seen perfectly happy. I will warn about the 2-4 year aggression most roosters get...

    Thank you for the reply! This is very helpful! Tofu really does look a lot like your white calico chick😁 sHe also looks a lot like the roosters… hopefully I have a handsome hen but I can definitely see that the comb is a little too big and red

    Its hard to see the brown (or take pictures of it😭) but its there I’m just curious how they'll feather out. Also the comb seems to be really yellow/orange and then pinkish in some lighting, is the comb relatively big for their age? Thank you for the reply!

    6 Week Old Silkie Hen or Rooster?

    Hello:) I have a belgian quail D’Anver roo that I also did not want crowing however I just wanted to warn you about the no crow collars as they can be pretty dangerous.
