Looking forward to reading stories and pics of your chicks, I’m not a chicken owner yet, but my husband will be retiring next year.
We will be moving to northern lower Michigan. I want to have just a few chickens mostly for pets, so I wanted to get experts opinions on which chicks make the best pets and housing ideas also.
My family had chickens, my dad had Rhode Island reds for years.
They were more for laying then for pets.

Thanks again for adding me

Welcome to Backyard Chickens! Glad you joined the flock! BYC is a very helpful and informative site! I think all chicks might be the same when it comes to being docile or friendly disposition but the friendliest chicken breeds are definitely my delaware, red sexlink, and brahmas. Buff orpingtons are really friendly too if you are social with them from the time they are chicks. Hope you enjoy BYC as much as we do!

If you are looking for in- house - "house pets," seramas were bred to be house pets in Malaysha. They accept and do well in confinement. Check out "people with house chickens." Plus they are tiny.
