DH and I were talking when we were in PetSmart last week and both agreed, after raising chickens we could never have house birds like parrots or parakeets or what have you. For me it's not so much the germs, heaven knows we get enough of those anyway, it's the DUST. They shed it everywhere they go.
With all due respect, I'm going to disagree.
I've raised Amazon parrots, Cockatoos, cockatiels and budgies. The bigger birds liked to share the shower with me or my GF. The smaller birds loved a spray from a squirt bottle. Dust was hardly an issue.

On the other hand, the chickens I have are the dustiest things I have ever seen.

OLIVE yes, yes I plan on keeping a couple.

A couple to scare the hawks away from my banties :)

I hope a couple frizzle blue or splash feathered black skinned naked neck blue egg laying ones hatch out :)

With your hatching history there is a possibility of your getting black skinned birds that have frizzled blue feathers but we shouldn't have to tell you that roosters don't lay eggs of any color.
 
glambka, those eggs are awesome! I hope I get lucky enough to get one.


On the purse sets, I will be bringing 4 sets. I made 5 but one is already sold. If more people want them than what I have I could take orders and make some more.
 
Me, too. I had parakeets and various finches and I don't remember any dust. However, I do remember the parakeets somehow managing to get their poo all over the walls. So we built an aviary and kept them outside. Easy todo when we were living in southern CA. I can eat chickens though so I'll keep them, just outside.
