Best indoor chicken breed

Have you considered getting a pair of pigeons? They fit the bill of a house pet much more than a chicken. They’re more suited to indoor life than a chook. They’re small, will wear diapers, and they’re affectionate.
Chickens should not be kept indoors.

Chickens are also predators to mice and other small animals, and they are really friendly when raised by humans.

That doesn’t make them predators. They’re still classified as prey animals. A lot of things eat them. How many things eat dogs?

Bears and sometimes wolves it depends on the dog

They've been domesticated yes, but as livestock. They have not been living in homes the way cats, dogs, and even parrots have.

Parrots aren’t domesticated like dogs, cats, or chickens. They retain almost all, if not all, of their natural instincts, which is why so many are rehomed by their owners or pluck themselves.

That doesn’t make dogs prey animals though just like chickens being omnivores doesn’t make them predators. Also not that many things eat dogs compared to chickens and they don’t go out of their way to eat them.

OK since you don't like this analogy, let's compare domestic chickens to their ancestor, the Red jungle fowl. Red jungle fowl spend the entirety of their day roaming their vast territories in search of food. At the first sight of danger, they fly away, something domestic chickens still do, something impossible to do in a home. One of the main ways of foraging for food, fowl scratch and peck at the ground to uncover its delicious secrets. Now, I don't believe someone has dirt as flooring for their homes yet. And by the way, since you didn't like it when someone compared chickens to a feline, why did you do the same?

The flaw in the analogy is that chickens are domesticated and tigers aren’t.



Also guys, dogs aren’t intended to live soley indoors. So they don’t make a good comparison.
