I have a cochin bantam that I rescued/aquired/chickennapped from a friend who didn't care for her all that good. She had a massive solid mud ball stuck all round her foot and lower leg. I've been nursing her back to health and she has been livi g in my lounge for the past 4 weeks! She can't walk properly on that leg so I can't put her in with my other hens yet. She is such a sweetheart though and I'm getting to quite enjoy having her in the house with us.

She does get to go outside but in the evenings she gets to free range the house! She doesn't wear diapers but I do have a way of cleaning up any accidents with a teaspoon and a well used VAX!

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) View attachment 1634803 View attachment 1634801 View attachment 1634800 View attachment 1634802 View attachment 1634804 View attachment 1634799 View attachment 1634798 View attachment 1634794 View attachment 1634795 View attachment 1634796 View attachment 1634797

Honestly I think he know how cute he is sometimes and takes advantage of my soft spot “peep peep can I have extra food”*follows me all over* or “peep peep can I have extra cuddles before you put me away even though I know you’re about to go to bed”*shrieks*

I have a house cockerel named Popcorn. He is a sabelpoot/booted bantam and is almost a year old. Hatched him as a single surviving incubator chick and he never took to outdoor living with my other chickens. So he wears a nappy and doesn't mind it at all.

The house is his territory and the garden belongs to my outside rooster. Occasionally he will try to tempt some of the outdoor ladies indoors though with a sneaky treat, but they just think he's their crazy neighbour.

He's not aggressive but he has a strong personality like most males. He demands food rather than begs for it and is very vocal when something makes him grumpy, but he also tolerates being snuggled rather well. His favourite place to stand is on my right knee. His favourite place to crow is directly into my ear canal, or so it seems sometimes.

What a gorgeous bird! I'd want to be around that as much as possible too.

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

bahaha

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.

How did the spurs get so long?

How did the spurs get so long?

Because I never trimmed more than a little of the sharp point on the end until now. They're a year and a half old. I was too afraid of cutting into the quick. But now I know how to do it & got rid of 2/3 of those spurs.
