I'm pretty uptight about germs in my home, haha. I think it's the only thing that restrains me...

(So what I'm doing is working on getting the chickens on my back porch. At least one already runs to my kitchen window for treats )

Yes! I keep chickens inside if they are molting or sick. I do let the molting ones back outside during the day.

Only to treat a serious injury.

Yes, I do. I have a few that live inside with me because they are handicapped but they do have their own personal pin for when they go outside during the day. They all have been diaper trained since they were chicks.

Occasionally I do get visit from my very first rooster too. He helps himself in on occasions and leaves once he checks everything out. Lol

My matriarch (an 8 year old Araucana) shouts at the back door to be let in for a private dinner of mealworms when she feels the need. I open the door, she marches into the utility room, I give her a dish of (live) mealworms, and shoo her out when she's finished. It's sort of cute

I have several who peck at the door to be let in for snacks and/or cuddles. I don’t otherwise keep chickens indoors unless they need it.
