You seem to have a nice family there..lol
My girls will be quit if I tell them but that is the only command I tried to teach them. the White Lakenvelder comes flying around the corner of the house when I step out onto the deck, she looks like the roadrunner in the cartoon, too funny.

PS
I have guinea pig water bottle holders, not as big a rabbit's. You can bend the metal in the bottom of the holder out, and put in a pop bottle chicken waterer. Holds it perfectly and you can hang it in a slit in the box and a flap to keep it from spilling. You need the support of the flap too, not just the box. :) Cheap, easy, fast, and a practical way to keep a house chicken. If your chicken is rowdy I would use quart coop cups instead.
Silkies are the best. I can use paper boxes from work. Tell my silkie to stay! They stay.
Well they stay, all but one. He will not mind me, he wants in with the chicks so bad that I had to put an incubator wire tray over him. A first. This beautiful, spoiled rotten, buff cockerel is going to get his own chicks when he goes out in a day or two. He lost a fight with an old crotchety hen who made a wound on his comb. LOL! I don't want to loose him, I gifted his brother and he is the only nice one left who is young.
Blue Boy silkie who is back in getting treated for more sloughing flesh from fly strike 16 months ago, is content to watch over my chicks by being near them in his own box. Thank heavens.
