HOUSE CHICKENS UNITE!!!

[Shadrach]

I don't have house chickens as such, they all have their own houses and unless one is sick or sitting on a clutch of eggs, they go home at night. They do come and go as they please in my house during the day though.
There are of course a number of hygiene and safety issues and I started a thread enquiring what alterations to a persons normal lifestyle have been necessary to ensure the safety of the chickens when they are in your home.

Do you have any stories or recommendations you might like to contribute?

My two house roos--Peeper & Bucky, after their bath. They're going through their molt right now. After I took this pic they got their spurs & nails trimmed.
I purposely raised them from chicks indoors so they wouldn't carry bacteria or bugs. So no outdoor trips.

I don't have house chickens. My chickens don't seem to like being indoors let alone wear a diaper. (Who would?!) I have one hen we think is a mix that is worthy of being one. She is soo darn cute!!! She comes inside after a bath and she'll snuggle for a little while but other than that the other hens just enjoy scratching in the dirt way more than being inside.

This is my sweet and charming part-time house rooster, Leo. He’s not a permanent house chicken, just while we’re building his coop(sadly) as much as I would love to have him in the house all the time

(Shh don’t tell him I posted these; he’s quite embarrassed of his diaper)

She does have a diaper that she wears almost all the time! But sometimes she gets to go commando, she loves it!

So, diapers really work?? Now, I'm wanting to bring my babies inside

If I had a inside chicken I’d have to name him “divorcée”
