Chickens as pets?????????

Question by Taylor: Chickens as pets?????????
Ok, I asked this already but I did more research and I’m going to state this again a bit better!

I was doing research on some good unique pets when I came across chickens. I’ve had ducks before. In the situation where I had to completely clean out, scrub, and disinfect the cage as often as everyday sometimes. In other words, I get the drill.
I know an indoor chicken is a big question so I’m asking from people who have experience in this matter. (Or know someone who does)

I have a pretty big rabbit cage (I’d get a bantam) and I will fill it with wood shaving and a few handfuls of hay (I have a chinchilla so I have more then enough hay on hand) the rabbit cage is pretty big but if I can see it’s too crowded an upgrade at that point wouldn’t be hard.

A big issue a few of you are saying is exercise and room to roam. I would let it around my room and most of the bottom floor of the house in chicken diapers and when there isn’t 5 feet of snow on the ground freely in my backyard for a while too.

I understand chickens are flock birds. A birdy friend for them isn’t out if the picture but I would like to make an effort with one first.

Yes I am wiling to put in this much effort. I wouldn’t be able to keep chicken(s) outside year round anyways in my area. I want to hear from someone if they think this could be worth a try.

Thought?
