Hi all I just had to tell you a story about my house chickens. I have three silkie females that live inside my home. They have a run and coop out side for their exercise and play time as well. Well it was a nice sunny day about 70 today so I took the girls out to play in their covered run. They were out for about a hour when I saw them starting to pant. I knew it was time to being them back inside. Well when I brought my peepers inside back to her very large box she shares with her sisters she was so happyy to be back inside she started dust bathing in her shavings and she gave the loudest purr I've ever heard her give. She kept rolling and purring truely happy to be back inside. Its so funny how they get spoiled to the house and actually perfer to be inside! You should have seen her! It was as if she was away from home forever! ! Funny some would say chickens aren't happy in the house, but my girls would prove them wrong. Mine are truely inside birds. My little peepers was so happy to get back inside she showed me with a big purr and a shavings bath! I love my house chickens! They truely are a joy!
