Which chicken breed makes a good indoor bedroom pet?

[QuailMan6666]

I’m looking for a breed of chicken that doesn’t poop a lot and will stay on my lap for a long time. Would buff orpingtons be a good candidate? This will be an indoor pet.

All breeds of chickens poop, and any breed could want to stay on your lap. No chicken should really be kept as a lone pet, or indoors, because they need to have a flock, and keeping them indoors alone is really not the best life for a chicken. If a pet bird is what you're looking for, there are many better options- budgies are one, and I know a few people who have them that could tell you about them and their required care!

Leghorn, definitely Leghorn

X2 on everything, except a budgie is very unlikely to sit on your lap and cuddle.

If you get an indoor chicken, then you’ll definitely want to get a beagle as well. They’ll clean up the massive amounts of poop for you

A Serama would be the best option

If you want a lap chicken you are better to get something that isn't a chicken..... like a silkie
