Which chicken breed makes a good indoor bedroom pet?

Depends on website listing. Here ya go rude one.

They still used the word hutch in there. I do agree that they were unnecessarily rude about it though

That's almost enough to get me to join Facebook...but not quite.

They do use the word hutch. But if you Google rabbit cage this pops up. Just saying that many things can be labeled as a rabbit cage.

That’s adorable. Omg.

I agree. But that doesn't mean it's correct. Not completely incorrect too, it's just that the more widely accepted name for that type of enclosure is hutch

I think when the OP said rabbit cage, everyone just assumed some small cage without asking what style it was actually going to be. If someone would have just asked we wouldn’t be here.

Notice that none of those examples are for housing a bird for life?

You said "ram a chicken into a rabbit cage." You did not say for how long. So I gave several examples for different lengths of time, with different sizes of cages.

That is called a hutch.

Hutch is a style, not a size. I was thinking of size.

Example:
https://www.kwcages.com/cages/48-x-30-x-18-modular-wire-rabbit-cage-1x.html
This link goes to an all-wire rabbit cage, size 48 inches by 30 inches. That means it contains 10 square feet of space. I have NEVER see this all-wire style called a "hutch."

And to show just how many different "words of wisdom" get thrown around here: I have read in many places here that each chicken requires 4 square feet of coop space? Let us not forget that this size housing needs to be able to fit in OP's bedroom.

4 square feet can be a space 2 feet by 2 feet. Any room that can hold a human bed could also hold a cage of that size. How well it works in any given bedroom depends on how many other things are also in the room, and how they are arranged.

And this is why I follow you. Getting those measurements truths out.

I have 1 leghorn Hen, one Brown leghorn rooster, both a fairly mellow, neither will allow you too close and the rooster is a sneaky back-attacker

I had 2 leghorn chicks from a hatchery a few years ago but they both died at a few weeks old. I was pretty disappointing I think they must have been sick or had bad genetics because all the other chicks survived.

Honestly we should probably just leave this thread. The OP has not been here in a few weeks now and they really did not give us very much information so there is no point in staying here and arguing about things we dont know.
