    Do you have (occasionally) chickens or other poultry in your house?

    Most BYC members keep chickens or other poultry in an outside coop + run. But some like their company inside the house too or have occasionally a reason to have them inside. Please make a choice and share how you manage this.

    Will Drano harm my indoor chicken?

    Hello, someone living with me used drano in the sink. I took her outside until they finished letting it sit and rinsed it out just to be safe. I share a wall with the room they used Drano in but I have all the fans going. I can’t open windows because they’re unfortunately sealed shut. I learned...

    She has to be cuddled to go to sleep

    My EE pullet will not sleep if she isn’t cuddled until she falls asleep and then put back in her coop. It’s kind of endearing. Thought I’d share.

    Chicken being lethargic, help?

    For most of this week, my hen has been acting a bit unusual. My girl Max is an almost 6 year-old indoor Wellsummer hen. She lives indoors due to her previous flock abusing her to the point of borderline starvation. Normally, Max is energetic, obnoxious, talkative, curious, and a decent eater. I...

    Indoor coop recommendations

    So one of my hens, tiny little Japanese bantam named Jafar, got attacked by what we'd been guessing was a hawk or crow a few weeks ago when the weather was nice, and we brought her indoors temporarily til she was healed. (She's fine, her eye was bruised and she had a small puncture wound on her...

    Raising a chicken to live indoors?

    I have a lot of mental health issues but I love chickens a lot. My mental health issues make it hard for me to go outside and interact with animals that have been living outside (although I still do, it's just challenging). Chickens are my favorite animals, my family has about 20 right now (+ a...
