Well, you gotta understand:
1. Chickens poop, a whole lot and often.
2. Chickens like to scratch the ground outside.
3. Chickens are pack/group type animals, happy with others like themselves.
4. Would you want to be a boy/girl without a boy/girl around, just an old human for company???

I suggest reading a book on chickens from your library. Research before you buy anything. Take it from one who learned the hard way.

Its a bit unclear, but from the post title I think when you say inside, you mean inside of the coop, right Chris?

Not inside the house?

id say anyone wanting a rooster is just a glutton for punishment having to hear that thing crow all the time lol. if hes in a coop i dont see why lol.
