True, but some poop more often than others. Chickens poop many more times each day than a dog or cat, which is one reason dogs and cats are more popular indoor pets than chickens.
They are not really chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), even if they look like chickens.
I took that as a joke (saying that silkies are not chickens, even though they really are.)
It's a joke
Leghorns are awesome but they poop a lot! Like all chickens poop is just part of the deal!
They all poop a lot and can carry salmonella as well as other germs, worms. I guess you could try a diaper (they sell on Etsy and probably Amazon, ) but personally I wouldn’t try it. Also they wouldn’t do well if you switch indoor then outdoor abruptly since they have trouble changing temps too fast. Perhaps make a coup where you can have a chair to sit near and hold on your lap? Just remember to wash your hands after.
Explore your zoning laws, most coops need to be a specified distance from your dwelling and shared property line and do not allow fowl inside. There are many docile breeds that enjoy human contact and being held but as far as low pooping? If you can train your hen to go in a litter box and if you live away from neighbors, maybe no one notice the inside hen!
Ya i know that they just call them chickens probably because they look like baby chicks. I meant to say “they are not chickens” but what came out was “they are now chickens” which doesn’t even make sense. But they are popularly called Rutin chickens even though they are not technically chickens. They would be a fun pet though. And they are quite popular in China and Asia right now.
Ah, that makes sense. I had thought you were saying they are chickens now, even though they came from non-chickens in the first place. I didn't think of it being a typo!
Yes, they do sound like fun petsBut they are popularly called Rutin chickens even though they are not technically chickens. They would be a fun pet though. And they are quite popular in China and Asia right now.
