Re: [CHICKENS-101] Broody and Maybe Babies -Georgia - Inside

 

There is 'underwear' for chickens.  No kidding.  I will send you a photo and the email of the person who makes them.  Well, a number of people make them - they are called 'chicken diapers', but this woman has lower prices.  Seriously, would you pay $25.00 for a pair of undies for your chicken?  Me either! 

As for the little chicks, I have 2 of the Chick-n-Hutch cages from Ware Mfr. available through Tractor Supply.  They are up on legs, have a slanted roof, wood back and wire sides and front. Powder coated wire floor and a catch tray.   There's a door in the wire front, but I just open the roof and reach down.  When I'd open the wire door chicks would leap onto my arm the moment I stuck it in.  It takes about 20 minutes to put one together!  Very easy. 

Having a chicken in the house is wonderful.  We had a grown Polish that roamed our kitchen and dining room, but I didn't have the 'unders' then, and was constantly cleaning up after her with baby wipes.  It takes 2 wipes.  First to pick up the output, second one to make sure there is nothing left behind.  She slept in a box at night with a cover on it and would go into the box to lay her egg.  Except the day she laid it on top of the stove, 3 inches from a skillet.   She would fly up onto the counter and sit there, watching what was going on in the kitchen. 

I kept a large flat heavy bowl on the floor for her food, and a crock for her water.  She sang all day long and I loved having her in the house.  She would sit on my hubby's knee and watch the news with him.    It was great!

Any more questions about this, just ask.

And how do you have chickens inside? Whats the setup? Are they caged? I
have a couple of favorites that I would love indoors but all they seem
to do is eat and poop! I had my babies in the closet for awhile until
they become heat/cold tolerant, then moved them outdoors.
