Well I'm pregnant & have the nose of a blood hound at the moment lol So I was planning on putting the babies in our shed, which normally at this time of year it's plenty warm enough - however we are STILL getting snow

Soo yep! They'll be in the house & I admit I'm sorta excited to have them a bit closer for the first little bit. Even if I do have to walk around with a clothespin on my nose lol

Chickens!?!?!? In the HOUSE!?!?!? What kind of freaks DO THESE THINGS!?!?!?!? What kind of FORUM IS THIS!?!?!? I DO NOT have chickens in the HOUSE.




































Right now.

But that's because they all just left this morning. There will be more in the next couple of days. We're in lockdown. We had babies in the house from January until oh....this morning (not all the same ones, mind you).

I did not even have to read all the posts to know what the answers are.

I got 6 chicks March 8 at the feed store and of course they went into the utility room. They were already a week old when I got them, but had to wait for our kids to show up with our perfect 3 year old grand daughter! And they HAD to be in the house to make it easier for her to play with them. She cried at bedtime because she didn't want to leave her chicks.

They are all feathered up and now in a cage in the big coop with our 2 reigning queens that would like nothing more than to peck the little intruders heads off!

Do chicks go in the house? YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm brand new to this and it didn't even occur to me to put them outside. I have three 3 week old chicks who have a big table in the living room right in front of our front windows.

When I was little (I'm almost 40) my mom got a duckling for me for easter and it lived in the house until it was fully feathered then it lived in my backyard for several months until we moved it out to a friend's lake in the country.

I've had batches of chicks in the house since February. I had 19 in the brooder for six weeks and two days after they went out the next batch started hatching and I have another 12 in the brooder plus I have two mucky baby ducks that are only 17 days old but they are huge and stinky - in the house. They are after all babies! My bator is full of eggs that are on day 12 so I expect to move the ones out of the brooder into the brooder coop outside when these start hatching! What's wrong with baby chicks in the house? Anyone who thinks that is unusual needs get a life! I also have quite a few parrots in the house - it takes a lot of work to keep everyone clean but it is worth it! Sure better than the people who sit around in front of the tv all the time.........

I have 3... and will have more next month

Spare bedroom is my nursery. There are probably a hundred or so in there right now, from a week old to around a month or so, door stays closed, windows stay open. LOL hey, hatching season isn't forever, just from say, March to what... November???

X2.............. it's only weird when you start keeping full grown ones in your house full time

Most of us who hatch keep them in indoor tub type brooders till it's time to go and the start to smell, then out they go.
