New to chickens looking for advice.

Hey there everyone! So I fell in love with silkies yrs ago and finally purchased two of them back in August. I have a black one (Margaret) and a white one (Betty). My hens are indoor pets, we made a coop for them that sits in our living room and we're home they're out running about the house Just wondering if anyone else has indoor pet chickens and if you have any advice or suggestions or neat facts. Thanks in advance

Just wondering how it would work out. Now I know.

I just find it easier not doing diapers, I figure if they wore them I would have to bath them everytime because it would get stuck to their feathers. Diapers are really cute tho and good idea of you're bringing your chickens out somewhere lol

If you really are going all out, on Mypetchicken.com they even have diapers with leash attachments! But that's just for crazy people...like me...
I hope you have good luck with your house silkies! I've always wanted to bring mine inside, if it weren't for the kitty cat who rules the house.
