Pets

Does anyone but me raise chickens only as pets? They are beautiful, friendly animals and I think make wonderful pets.

Welcome and howdy Many of us here raise our chickens as pets. Take a look around. Come over to the introductions forum and you'll find a slew of us right away.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Oh lots of us keep them as pets. They are affectionate, friendly, curious and intelligent. Lap sitters too! So glad you are enjoying your flock!

I’m not sure what my husband was thinking back when he was deciding we should have chickens, but short of living in the house, our birds enjoy the same status as the cats and dogs. I know I love them like animal family members; I had no idea you could love a chicken so much.

I think you’re in the right place. Plenty of like-minded folks here.
