Does anyone have indoor chickens?

I was wondering if anyone keeps indoor chickens and how one would do that!

It seems like a cute idea as long as the birds have enough stimulation and space im just curious!

Is this the wrong forum or something?

There are several discussions about house chickens here on BYC - here is a link to one of them:

You can search "house chicken" and find more of them.

I'm sure someone must. I kept chicks up to 10 weeks in a brooder. Dust (and it's a weird kind of thick dust) was everywhere. The air quality was horrific and it took awhile for my lungs to recover. I wouldn't recommend it.

PS: Plus, I had to get my laptop professionally cleaned and still need to clean my desktop.

I raised 6 chicks to 6 weeks old in my house. I don't have a good pic of the set up but we covered the brooder with netting to help control the dust and feathers. Our friends thought we were crazy, but we'd do it again in a heart beat!

I raised my 2 chickies in my office with my dad. I had a large aquarium with an open top and small lamp heater! I loved seein them grow and bubba weno! Those chicks are adorable!
