Ive had every other sort of bird except Poultry I think! Ive wanted a fancy chicken to keep as a pet for a while. I figured if I could learn the ropes before I spring the idea on my husband I would stand a better chance lol. I live rurally in Lower SW Michigan so tho its March we still have snow on the ground. Our local farm stores all have eggs under lights getting ready for the chix to start hatching tho! We have several feeds stores that carry fancy chix and ducks now because we get a lot of well to do people that come out from the cities and 'play' farmer during the warmer months now lol. I hope you all don't mind questions, I will try n not be too much of a pest! Thank You in Advance!!
Namaste! Silver
 
Welcome to Backyard chickens. I think what you have in mind is a house chicken. Generally Seramas or Silkies are good because they can tolerate confinement better. Seramas were bred to be house pets in Malaysia,

Please check out "people with house chickens," to get an idea what it's like.
