Again, letting your chicken live outside doesn't mean it can't be your pet, and in the long run it will benefit both you and your chickensBecause I will live in a townhouse.
I used to have a house polish. She had a special section of my room, blocked off, with towels on the floor. Every couple of days I would wash the towels and sweep up the feathers. She spent a lot of time with me, and I even made her some diapers to wear around the house. I tried taking her outside but she never liked it. She lived with her brother and when he left (due to crowing) she stayed in a larger area with some chicks.
