They all stink, unless poop and dander and dust are not an issue for you.

Curiously, what happened to your Buff Orpington that you had in 2014?

I'm not keeping ten chickens in my bedroom.

I will probably get one or two bantam hens.

In regards to the "dust" issue, some people have Umbrella Cockatoos and those parrots produce a lot of dust. If parrot owners can live with the dust their cockatoos produce, why can't some of us keep one or two bantam hens indoors?

Are you willing to give up breathing?  Willing to compromise your lung function?  Perhaps not now, but in your future?  A bedroom is no place for a chicken.

I agree. It's probably best to keep chickens outdoors rather than in a bedroom.

A chicken is not the same as a parrot. Parrots produce dander but they also do not use the types of bedding that a chicken would use, which contributes to the massive amount of dust, nor do they have the need to dust bathe or scratch up flooring. Their poop is different, their behavior is different, the only thing they have in common is they're birds.

Chickens are bigger birds. Bigger birds, logically, would produce more dust. No one is saying you can't keep hens indoors, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. Responsible animal ownership means keeping your animals in such a way as is best for their health and well-being, too. Chickens really are happier when they can be outside pecking and scratching in the dirt.
