My girl Pidgey is an awesome pet. She is a black bantam frizzle cochin. I didn't even raise her from a baby and she's such a great pet. She will find me if I walk away from her while she's out. I have her in a rabbit hutch in my bedroom. She's not overly smelly and there really isn't too much mess. I haven't had to change her bedding in almost a month because she poops mostly all in the same little area since that's were she perches and I just clean up that little area and we're good. She makes cute sounds when you pet her too. I haven't gotten a diaper for her yet. I'm not in a big rush since she really isn't too much trouble. I was told that she is eligible to start laying the end of November. I think she will because I have a huge dark area for her with a nest box in it. I'm actually going to do a science experiment and see if she will incubate and raise chicks in my bedroom. I even have a rooster lined up for her to be mated with. If that doesn't work I read that Frizzles go broody often so I will just sneak some eggs under her. It would be awesome to see a mama chicken at work. Anyways for anyone thinking of keeping a indoor chicken or two, especially a bantam like a silkie or a frizzle. DO IT! It's not that much trouble at all. They are pretty quiet and the upkeep is just as much as your conventional pets like a rabbit or a parrot. Plus they are SO friendly and happy to be indoors. This is Pidgey:
