You will be the only person who does not realize your whole house smells like the floor of a chicken coop.

“can you believe there’s a chicken in here?! she doesn’t even smell!”

To note tho that sebright are also very energetic birds

Definitely. My three were like adhd children. The one I still have hasn't calmed down yet

But why an indoor chicken? I understand wanting an indoor pet. I understand wanting chickens. But not an indoor chicken. Even if a chicken didn't need to be around other chickens, how on earth do you even begin to handle the poop? And the dust and dander and feathers? I look around my chicken coop and run and cannot even begin to figure out how this would work inside my home. They are little mobile poop dispensers with no manners.

What is the best indoor chicken breed? I don't like silkies. I've had a buff polish as a house pet, and would consider getting a polish.
I'm looking for the following:
~Small
~doesn't need a ton of attention
~doesn't need another chicken companion
~doesn't lay many eggs
~visibly attractive and fun
~calm
~doesn't try to poop all over everything
~would be ok wearing a diaper

Chickens are flock animals. I would argue that no chicken would be suitable based on the requirement of not needing another companion.

It's ok. I can have 2.

Sure, that would fix the problem of the chicken being alone, but can you really handle two birds pooping in your house?

Seramas are the number one house pet in Malaysia. They definitely poop though.

I agree, if you have decided you definitely want pet chickens in your house, try seramas. But I'd say have a back up plan just in case

Houses in Malaysia are WAY different than houses here though.
