people with house chickens

I have an OEGB that lives in the house. She plays with the dogs, always charging them then running away! She even went after my vaccum!

She is spoiled and will NOT wear her diaper, she flops around on the floor until she gets it off. She will also fuss and fuss at night until we wrap her in her pink blanket and put her in her basket:rolleyes:!
She was hatched under a hen, but I went out there when she was only a few hours old and found her face down in the dirt. I thought she was dead, but when I picked her up she moved. Soooo I popped her in the incubator and here she stayed!
Her name is princess!

hahaha, love it!
 
For those of you know about our Dottie, the Japanese Bantam, who "was" our house chicken, diapers and all. She has become WILD. She is a wild seed now. Of all of these birds Dottie is the most unique.
She was a foster mother to fertile eggs from a farmer lady. Dottie hatched them. She was so focused we could not believe it.
......She used to wear a diaper and sit on my shoulder and eat pizza and peck at the keyboard.
We took her outside with her new chicks and she was a tornado of a mother. She had no idea she was a very little bantam.
So now she is Dottie "Wild Thing",
I don't know if she will come in ever.
But I do have a Show Girl who might be a candidate for indoor chicken. I can hope.
 
Dottie will turn normal again once her chicks grow up.
My silkie, Winter, hatched a chick and was ferocious and mean. She would bite us and chase after us. When the baby was about a month old she started being less mean and 'changing' back to her normal self. Not long after, she laid her first egg (since before her broodiness began) and that was the sign that she was done with being a mother and was back to her normal self. Now she's her sweet, fluffy, cuddly self.

Don't worry, Dottie will get out of her mothering phase.
