She’s a beautiful bird. I grew up on a farm, and grew an appreciation for Chickens. They’re a lot more intelligent than people give them credit for, and make great lap pets 😂
Your video was very informative and well thought out. Thank you for this! It brought back memories of when I had a chicken, Pepita, when I was eleven years old. She followed me everywhere, and loved to sit on my lap and relax. I will never forget what a beautiful soul she was! Chickens are wonderful!
My entire childhood we had chickens and I'd sneak them inside every once in a while, but there was only one that my parents enjoyed having inside because of how sweet and sociable she was, she'd fly on your shoulder and lap and watch us from on top of the fridge. I miss her and wish I had another little friend to watch me cook from her refrigerator perch.
She's too cute! We have two little adopted seabrights as well! I love their personalities. They've been very wary and skittish since we took them in but they're getting more used to eating from my hand and they've begun running to me when I come home because they know I give them treats. They're still not keen on being picked up and held but their progress has me hopeful. ❤
When I feed eggs back to my chickens, I drop them whole, shell and all, into the blender. Give it a good whirl and poor into frypan and scramble. This hides the shell well and makes tiny particals hidden in scrambled egg.
This is so sweet. There is a wild chicken who keeps trying to get in our house. She decided to live in our yard with our backyard. Chickens really really wants to come in the house. You are to allow her to maybe live in the house, even though we have dogs the dogs.
Hi, I have dogs that sleep inside, and at first they freaked out at my baby chick. My girl still does but her brother doesn't care much now. He'd rather sneak in the chicken run an eat their poop. Try having the chicken in a crate for a week to let the dogs adapt. Only take the chicken out of the crate when the dogs are outside at first. Then slowly reverse it, put the dogs in the crate, one at a time, and let the chicken walk around. It sounds like you could have a super cuddly chicken. The dogs will respect with slow training :)
Reading comments…haven’t seen anything about laying her eggs in her diaper. How do you manage that? I’ve had an indoor rooster for over a year, but adopted a young hen about two months ago so they’ve been living outside, but I’ve very recently been letting them in for brief visits. Both are clean and quiet. I used to keep a puppy pad under his favorite roosting spot, and he seldom pooped anywhere else. Not fully housebroken, but not far from it; thank goodness chickens don’t pee, so cleanups aren’t bad! (No carpet in house.)
She had a birth control implant that prevented egg laying. In between implants, I would only use diapers that could accommodate poop and and egg and/or let her go diaper-free when I sensed an egg was coming.
We rescued a flock of mostly bantams, got 2 big girls some how, one of the girls is pretty anti social so I am considering brining her in as a pet. Learning what that entails at the moment, will have to cage at night when the cats are in, looking to find out how much loose time she will need to stay healthy, already had a close call with another hen we brought in in an emergency, she was getting abused by her cage mates and needed nursing for a couple days but developed digestive distressed from lack of activity in a relatively short period of time. The flock will be moving to a bigger property soon where they will be free ranged during the day and I have to decide if we are keeping her soon, I'm afraid with her tendency to wander off alone she will be more susceptible to predation....
I finally got my sebrights, a silver hen and rooster, and 2 golden hens and a rooster. In addition to my mille fleur and porcelain sablepoots, and porcelain and mille fleur belgian bearded duccles. I also have a ameracauna rooster and a buff orpinton hen. One of my mille fleur hens i hatched out this year resides in my house with my porcelain sablepoot hen.
If you're raising backyard chickens for eggs, don't feed them eggs. It trains them to eat the eggs you're trying to farm for yourself. Even if you yank it out of its shell and scramble, cook, and serve it like that, if the chicken thinks eggs are food, and finds out that what you're feeding it, is in-fact eggs (chickens are smart enough to figure it out, trust me), then you my friend, will no longer find eggs in the coop when you go looking. The chicken will lay the egg, turn around and eat it on the spot.
Oh, dustbath in house...not good. Dust will fly and gritty dust everywhere. Maybe a porch? Backyard? She prob has no insects living on her and thats why birds dust bathe, to kill those. She'll still be happy just going thru the motions of a dust bath on your living rm carpet. The fact that she is so calm and tame showes her to be happy and well adjusted. Well done!
I have a serama rooster. He is very adorable and also an indoor chicken. Had him for about a week now. Very clingy and lovable. 7 weeks old and acting like our flying cat now lol
@amber82872 he never really changed 😁 clingy, lovable. Only thing that is new is he growls/hiss every time I say "see you boy" 😂 his most hated word now because he hates being alone.
love it❤thats incredible she's inside gorgeous girl only ppl that have chickens understand how magical they are my husband gets annoyed when i bring my english game bantam inside love the diaper idea
Ren is beautiful and this video is so helpful. My bf recently got some chicks he's keeping in the house till they are bigger for the yard. I fell in love. As a former parrot owner and bird lover, it got me thinking, why not have one in my apt? One of his has bonded with me and really only ever wants to sleep on me. It reminds me of my parrot. They are sweet smart animals. Chickens aren't dumb and I hate when ppl say that. They all have these special individual personalities.
I have had backyard chickens for the past 12 years. So I like to think I know a thing or two about chickens. And from what I found over all of my years of owning them they don't mind the heat as much as they mind the cold I live up here in the Pacific Northwest so they are exposed to a lot of rain and in my own personal experience. They generally like to try and stay inside on those especially rainy days. Personally would I ever want to keep my chickens inside and do the whole cloth diapering thing probably not. I think they belong in a nice coop with other birds. Because I think they enjoy getting to have their own space. And getting to have other birds around them. We currently have six right now and they go along perfectly fine and I don't think they would be particularly happy. If I brought them inside I don't think they would be as happy however I have had little chicks inside and they seem to enjoy it more than the older birds. But we have them in an apartment and we did not have a good setup mainly. Because we didn't have diapers for them. They just enjoy The Great outdoors. Obviously some chickens are different mine just so happened to like The Great outdoors.
i had a black silkie rooster when i was younger, and i had him harness and leash trained along with a couple of my other chickens. i used to get strange looks from the neighbors when they saw me taking artie on his walks
I just adopted a disabled chicken. I started keeping her indoors, because she is mostly hobbling on the ground, and the rooster tries to kill her. One of her legs was injured by a previous owner. A lady online is making me a chicken wheelchair. I agree about birth control. I lost one a couple months ago from eggbound.
For shells, I dehydrate them. I have a small dehydrator from Cabelas that works great for this. Then, once they're super crunchy, I put them in a Ziploc bag and pound them into nearly dust with a kitchen hammer. Then, sprinkle it over her food. This works especially well with scrambled eggs or other moist foods. As for the park - do you keep her on a leash? If so, I'd love to see how that works. I have 2 backyard chickens plus Rose, my adventure chicken. She's a Polish hen and lives inside with me and goes on trips wherever I'm going if it's overnight or longer (although she originally became an inside chicken due to aggression from the other two, she's now become practically my best friend, lol). Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you! We let them free at the park, but I always kept them in between us and they never got too far away. Always on the look out for unleashed dogs or predatory birds.
We have some indoor chickens. Some come in and out of the house like dogs, but we have a couple that really like to be inside. Our Polish girl Mavis is currently behind the television in the living room as she has decided that this location will be her broody spot! I love my chickens, they have their own room inside the house and come in each night. It gets kind of noisy in the morning but they are safe and have a great life! Put oyster shells in her food and you can skip the crushed egg shells.
Eggshell; get some water warm in a pot, when it starts to get warm you can start to rub the mucus part out, place the shell pieces on paper towels to dry out, turn the shells so they can dry through and through, place in pestle and mortar or a mason jar and the bottom of an ice cream scooper, crush up finely mix in with their food/slaw. By the way, beautiful girlie!!! 🥹 do you use a harness to walk her? I just got one for my girl, haven’t tried it yet, not nice enough yet.
I've wondered how pet chickens are kept indoors, so thank you for explaining so much. I have a small outdoor flock of 4 standard chickens. Regarding food flying all over, have you tried fermenting her feed? If you feed her crumbles or pellets, fermenting reduces the dust. Mainly, fermented feed is easier to digest and chickens receive more of the nutrients in the feed. Enjoy chicken life!
House chickens are awesome! They're like any other parrot/bird pet, but way cuddlier and snugglier! My little rooster would nap on my chest when laying down. Soooo cute.
Thanks for posting. I have a 10-week old silkie that seems to have something wrong with her. She may be blind. She is otherwise happy, healthy and very loving. I'm thinking about setting her up indoors.
Love your video. ❤ Sadly where I live they found out and told me to get ride of them or I have to pay 20$ fine everyday till they gone. So I gave Helene, Frieda and Goldie to a friend, the President changed in our community and he aloud me to have chickens yeah now I have 3 Easter egger. They are still in the brooder got Heidi, Elfi and Yule hatched on February 14 2023. I made a chicken run 10 ft x 10 ft and a small hen house my back yard is 70 ft x 50 ft Perfect for chickens. We have 2 cats and one dog. They fine with with chickens. But even having my own house. People try to tell you what to do, is horrible! I don’t tell them what to do. So I hope that one neighbor stays out of my life. Glad I got new neighbors on the other side and they totally fine with my chickens and we best friends
Hello! Im thinking about getting a chicken as an indoor pet but im having a problem. At nights do you let her sleep wherever she wants and be free or you have a cage or something like this? I cant find a decent size cage for a chicken to fit in my house and i want to knoe your opinion on like should i let my chicken free at night or something like this
Golden Seabrights! I raised a pair with my dad when I was young. At the time, my favorite show was 'The Wonder Pets', so I named my female Ming-ming and the male Buff after two pets in the show (okay, okay, so the turtle's name was actually Tuck, but I misheard it when I was like 8). Out of all the bantams we raised, they were my favorite pets.
a little late on this one but I dry my egg shells out before feeding them back to the chickens. if they are fresh they don't seem to eat them but especially if I have a bunch of egg shells I will throw them in my air fryer and set it to dehydrate. You can also just leave them out for a few days and they dry out.
I have an indoor chicken who is disabled. She does not like other chickens so I wouldn't put her out with the other chickens anyway. She suffered wry neck as a chick and we got it under control but I didn't realize she would need to stay on the vitamins forever. She relapsed with a vengeance a few weeks later, couldn't eat or drink on her own, walked back wards at high speed and her first 2 toes on her right foot point to the left now, broken id guess. She wasn't like this when we got her as a baby chick. She will be 2 years the beginning of May. She lays green eggs about every other day. She has her own area in the house and I take her outside to enjoy nice warm, sunny days. She is not a cuddly Chicken but when she's out and about will get up on the couch, place herself up against my leg and take a nap. And she talks to me or answers me when I talk to her. If you are looking for rescue chickens, look for battery hens from poultry farms near you. They usually get rid of them anywhere from 12-18 months old for very cheap, $2-$6. They would still be laying at that age but I think would be great to rescue bc they've never been in the grass, haven't dust bathed, scratched for works and bugs and maybe never really been in the sun. They usually have to learn to do normal chicken things but those breeds are usually friendly even with the neglect of being shoved into cages with other hens, no room and little human contact.
my chickens love non gmo , organic chedder cheese.. some come in my lap for hugs and patting. some dont. all indiviuals .they free range . hawks around . but like driving on the freeway you gotta live.
You can crush the shells as small as possible and combine them with the egg before cooking so they can get the nutrients back, I do that with my hen when she lays, she doesn't anymore, not sure why but I think it's best bc when she lays she seems to stress out before laying bc she doesn't lay in one place at all.
Thank you! I heard that I should bake the shell so it gets dried out and brittle enough to crush easily. I'm going to try that when she starts laying again.
She's so gorgeous 😍🥰😍🥰😍!!! And a tip for her eggshells, either crush them into smaller pieces or if they're colored eggs such as 💙, 💚, or 🤎, only crush them slightly or feed her the eggs raw completely. It may be a little messy, but my rooster likes it just fine and so do his ladies.❤❤❤
I have an indoor bantam frizzle rooster. I have a huge flock outside but this little guy is my buddy. I am trying many diapers and wondering where you get yours. I need the right style!
This is so cute! I love ren! You said your looking for more chickens to add to your indoor flock, would you get any larger breeds like buff Orphington‘s, Rhode Island Reds, silkies, or Sussex? Or do you think you will stick so small Breeds like bantams?
I think its funny how people are like You have a chicken indoors and I'm like I know why would people keep any sort of bird indoors like parrots ,cocktails , etc. and they're like Ohhh Yeah ,LOL !!!
It depends on the chicken! Ren didn't react when my other bird Mina died, and we enjoyed several months just her and I, just fine. As of 3 weeks ago, Ren has two new friends! They're all slowly becoming friends.
i have two indoor amrock or plyrock idk they are the zebra striped chickens and they love being indoors i find this video really great they arent messy i dont use diapers
I love my sebrights my 3 girls are now 5 1\2 years old. I have a Mille D'Uccle that REFUSES to get her booted feet dirty EVER, she love living in the house but we made her ramps, shelves in our bantam coop so she can get anywhere without getting feet on the floor.
I fell in love with chickens when my dad bought some when I was around 10. I could watch them go about their day for hours, so interesting to watch! You earned a sub, I look forward to checking out your chicken diaper videos, as someone who would like to eventually have a few indoor chickens.
Thanks so much for your content! I have indoor/outdoor hens (2). I haven’t found a diaper that works well. You mentioned FB and Instagram but I haven’t found the kind you have. Do you know the username of where you got them? Thanks!
The one she's wearing in this video is from Shannen Sews which is also available on Instagram and Etsy. The sizing however has changed since this was purchased, so be sure to review her size chart - she includes all the measurements and everything! My current favorite are Peckingtons (also available on Etsy) but they are on hiatus until February.
you seem like an amazing person and someone who i would get along with super well!! i also support adopt not shop 🥰 i have a question: i’m thinking of taking one of my chickens indoors, shes a rescue chicken and she is a cornish cross. my question is would she just lay eggs in the diaper with all the poop? because that seems a little gross and unnatural to me but i really want to take her inside. 🥰
It's the best thing to have a chicken companion living in close quarters. This sounds amazing! You can let her lay in the diaper, as long as the pouch is big enough to accommodate the volume of her egg and poop. Or, when she goes looking for a nest, take the diaper off.
does the vet insert the implant? I have a rescue 2 day old chick that Id love to make a house chicken. She is a very small chicken probably smaller than Ren. Its just so sad that we have made chickens lay so much.
Hii love the video I am trying to train my black chicken to like wear a harness bc then I can pick her up with the handle she is a very calm sweet girl and very tame so love the vid I'm trying to train mine
Man, I want to be so nice, but I just got four baby chicks that have been living in my bathroom for the last month and after week one all I could think of was "people who let birds roam around their house are psychotic". I love my chickens but bird people really weird me out
I just subbed you and liked👍 Awesome video, cant wait for more vids on taming chickens and anything else on backyard and / or indoor chickens. " IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING NATURAL YOU SHOULD ALSO LOOK INTO TOILETS, SHOES AND MODERN MEDICINE" great rebuttal to dumb troll keyboard JERKS! 🤘
God Bless you for showing us how it possible to have an indoor chicken. I would like to know more about diaper wearing. Wouldn’t they try diligently to get that off? 🧐 😆I would appreciate it if you could make a video about it. Thank you for your channel. I’m subscribing.
Don't knock it 'til you try it! For me, it's decently low maintenance and chill to have indoor chickens (until they get sick with a mystery disease, which is something I'm dealing with right now)
She’s a beautiful bird. I grew up on a farm, and grew an appreciation for Chickens. They’re a lot more intelligent than people give them credit for, and make great lap pets 😂
A chicken is a bird, many people have pet birds...of ALL kinds! Its not the chickens' fault humans see them as little more than egg farms!
I love my chicken. She’s my BFF. So glad others feel the same way.
Your video was very informative and well thought out. Thank you for this! It brought back memories of when I had a chicken, Pepita, when I was eleven years old.

They're still not keen on being picked up and held but their progress has me hopeful. ❤
Aww!
Etsy probably has tons of small businesses, why do you think none would be on there for such a niche thing that involves sewing?
When I feed eggs back to my chickens, I drop them whole, shell and all, into the blender. Give it a good whirl and poor into frypan and scramble. This hides the shell well and makes tiny particals hidden in scrambled egg.
Ooo I want to hear more! Very curious to see how the dust bath turns out!! What a lucky chick
It will be uploaded on Friday! Stay tuned.
Yes! Super curious about an indoor chicken dust bath!!
This is so sweet. There is a wild chicken who keeps trying to get in our house. She decided to live in our yard with our backyard. Chickens really really wants to come in the house. You are to allow her to maybe live in the house, even though we have dogs the dogs.

Chickens can live inside…my mom says she prefers chickens to parrots. All you need is an aviator harness to take em outside. 😂
If you're raising backyard chickens for eggs, don't feed them eggs. It trains them to eat the eggs you're trying to farm for yourself. Even if you yank it out of its shell and scramble, cook, and serve it like that, if the chicken thinks eggs are food, and finds out that what you're feeding it, is in-fact eggs (chickens are smart enough to figure it out, trust me), then you my friend, will no longer find eggs in the coop when you go looking. The chicken will lay the egg, turn around and eat it on the spot.
where'd you get your diapers from? can't get my chick to wear diapers for anything, i clean up so many poops
Oh, dustbath in house...not good. Dust will fly and gritty dust everywhere. Maybe a porch? Backyard? She prob has no insects living on her and thats why birds dust bathe, to kill those.

my other comment really got filtered for resembling a curse word.. I said mother ... cluckers... cluck cluck like a chicken. sheesh TH-cam
I have a serama rooster. He is very adorable and also an indoor chicken. Had him for about a week now. Very clingy and lovable. 7 weeks old and acting like our flying cat now lol
How’s he going now?

They are such cuties.
I agree so much with you. If they are happy inside then let them in and accommodate them if you love them to death
i had a black silkie rooster when i was younger, and i had him harness and leash trained along with a couple of my other chickens. i used to get strange looks from the neighbors when they saw me taking artie on his walks

I agree about birth control. I lost one a couple months ago from eggbound.
I'm sorry for your loss! Egg binding is so devastating. How is the wheelchair going for your other hen?
For shells, I dehydrate them. I have a small dehydrator from Cabelas that works great for this. Then, once they're super crunchy, I put them in a Ziploc bag and pound them into nearly dust with a kitchen hammer. Then, sprinkle it over her food. This works especially well with scrambled eggs or other moist foods.

We let them free at the park, but I always kept them in between us and they never got too far away. Always on the look out for unleashed dogs or predatory birds.

Eggshell; get some water warm in a pot, when it starts to get warm you can start to rub the mucus part out, place the shell pieces on paper towels to dry out, turn the shells so they can dry through and through, place in pestle and mortar or a mason jar and the bottom of an ice cream scooper, crush up finely mix in with their food/slaw.

I’m looking forward to getting a pet hen since I’m allergic to pets but over all because my mom doesn’t want cats or dogs .
Awww.. She's so cute and her name too. Ren❤️
Love your video. ❤
Sadly where I live they found out and told me to get ride of them or I have to pay 20$ fine everyday till they gone. So I gave Helene, Frieda and Goldie to a friend, the President changed in our community and he aloud me to have chickens yeah now I have 3 Easter egger. They are still in the brooder got Heidi, Elfi and Yule hatched on February 14 2023.
I made a chicken run 10 ft x 10 ft and a small hen house my back yard is 70 ft x 50 ft
Perfect for chickens.
We have 2 cats and one dog. They fine with with chickens.
But even having my own house. People try to tell you what to do, is horrible! I don’t tell them what to do. So I hope that one neighbor stays out of my life.
Glad I got new neighbors on the other side and they totally fine with my chickens and we best friends
“What they don’t know won’t hurt ‘em” is how I had 3 pets most of my adult life when there’s almost always a 2 pet limit when renting. 💁🏼♀️
Hello! Im thinking about getting a chicken as an indoor pet but im having a problem. At nights do you let her sleep wherever she wants and be free or you have a cage or something like this?

Lol “tuck” 😂😂
The "natural" argument: having pets or captive animals is never natural, it makes no difference whether theyre inside or outside fenced in etc.
a little late on this one but I dry my egg shells out before feeding them back to the chickens. if they are fresh they don't seem to eat them but especially if I have a bunch of egg shells I will throw them in my air fryer and set it to dehydrate. You can also just leave them out for a few days and they dry out.
Thank you! That's a great tip about the air fryer.
I have an indoor chicken who is disabled. She does not like other chickens so I wouldn't put her out with the other chickens anyway. She suffered wry neck as a chick and we got it under control but I didn't realize she would need to stay on the vitamins forever. She relapsed with a vengeance a few weeks later, couldn't eat or drink on her own, walked back wards at high speed and her first 2 toes on her right foot point to the left now, broken id guess. She wasn't like this when we got her as a baby chick. She will be 2 years the beginning of May. She lays green eggs about every other day. She has her own area in the house and I take her outside to enjoy nice warm, sunny days. She is not a cuddly Chicken but when she's out and about will get up on the couch, place herself up against my leg and take a nap. And she talks to me or answers me when I talk to her.
If you are looking for rescue chickens, look for battery hens from poultry farms near you. They usually get rid of them anywhere from 12-18 months old for very cheap, $2-$6. They would still be laying at that age but I think would be great to rescue bc they've never been in the grass, haven't dust bathed, scratched for works and bugs and maybe never really been in the sun. They usually have to learn to do normal chicken things but those breeds are usually friendly even with the neglect of being shoved into cages with other hens, no room and little human contact.
I get modern medicine comment, but toilets and shoes 🤔😂😂😂 oh please 🤦🏽♀️
God loves you so so much no matter what Jesus will always be there to pick you back up never give up because They will never leave you
my chickens love non gmo , organic chedder cheese.. some come in my lap for hugs and patting.
some dont. all indiviuals .they free range . hawks around . but like driving on the freeway you gotta live.
Can you link the diaper, I have a pet chicken to and I always use handmade diapers...
You can crush the shells as small as possible and combine them with the egg before cooking so they can get the nutrients back, I do that with my hen when she lays, she doesn't anymore, not sure why but I think it's best bc when she lays she seems to stress out before laying bc she doesn't lay in one place at all.
Thank you! I heard that I should bake the shell so it gets dried out and brittle enough to crush easily. I'm going to try that when she starts laying again.
She's so gorgeous 😍🥰😍🥰😍!!! And a tip for her eggshells, either crush them into smaller pieces or if they're colored eggs such as 💙, 💚, or 🤎, only crush them slightly or feed her the eggs raw completely. It may be a little messy, but my rooster likes it just fine and so do his ladies.❤❤❤
日本でもあなたのように室内でニワトリにオムツをつけて飼っている愛好家がいますね！
This is so good. I so agree with you and everything you said about her, I can say the same about mine too. Chickens are really lovely.
Diapers are not natural so you should let her crap everywhere if you want to stay natural
I am waiting for her new video😍
I had i cicken on the 02/08/23 and on the 03/08/23 he died by i wild cat 😢
I need to learn to house break my baby bhramas! I've heard u can train them to a litter box or toilet
I heard you can feed them beans and pasta and grind up oyster shells
I have an indoor bantam frizzle rooster. I have a huge flock outside but this little guy is my buddy. I am trying many diapers and wondering where you get yours. I need the right style!
There are so many options! I have a TH-cam playlist for chicken diapers or a list on my Medium account: renthehousehen.medium.com/
I HV heard about feeding them eggs , but it seems weird . I would eat them .
Had an African Grey. Much messier.
I bake the egg shells and then grind them into powder and add it that way.
This is so cute! I love ren! You said your looking for more chickens to add to your indoor flock, would you get any larger breeds like buff Orphington‘s, Rhode Island Reds, silkies, or Sussex? Or do you think you will stick so small Breeds like bantams?
Thank you!! I would definitely adopt other breeds of chicken, too!
I think its funny how people are like You have a chicken indoors and I'm like I know why would people keep any sort of bird indoors like parrots ,cocktails , etc. and they're like Ohhh Yeah ,LOL !!!
😮🎉🎉🎉😂😂😃😃👍👍🌟💯💯💯💯😃😃😃👍🌟🌟💯💯💯😃👍🌟💯💯💯😃👍🌟💯😉
I love Ren!! I have backyard chickens but dream about having an indoor hen one day. Can't wait to see more!
Indoor chicken with a nappie and an implant?? wtf man
I like how you set Karens and Kens straight 😊
Is it alright to raise a solo chicken? I want to get a house chicken but only if it's not bad for them to be the only one
It depends on the chicken! Ren didn't react when my other bird Mina died, and we enjoyed several months just her and I, just fine. As of 3 weeks ago, Ren has two new friends! They're all slowly becoming friends.
@Anita Morrison-Reich Looks like your reply got cut off!
i have two indoor amrock or plyrock idk they are the zebra striped chickens and they love being indoors i find this video really great they arent messy i dont use diapers
Try crushing the shell really small and put it in her normal feed
I love my sebrights my 3 girls are now 5 1\2 years old. I have a Mille D'Uccle that REFUSES to get her booted feet dirty EVER, she love living in the house but we made her ramps, shelves in our bantam coop so she can get anywhere without getting feet on the floor.
I fell in love with chickens when my dad bought some when I was around 10. I could watch them go about their day for hours, so interesting to watch! You earned a sub, I look forward to checking out your chicken diaper videos, as someone who would like to eventually have a few indoor chickens.
Thanks so much for your content! I have indoor/outdoor hens (2). I haven’t found a diaper that works well. You mentioned FB and Instagram but I haven’t found the kind you have. Do you know the username of where you got them? Thanks!
The one she's wearing in this video is from Shannen Sews which is also available on Instagram and Etsy. The sizing however has changed since this was purchased, so be sure to review her size chart - she includes all the measurements and everything!
My current favorite are Peckingtons (also available on Etsy) but they are on hiatus until February.
you seem like an amazing person and someone who i would get along with super well!! i also support adopt not shop 🥰 i have a question: i’m thinking of taking one of my chickens indoors, shes a rescue chicken and she is a cornish cross. my question is would she just lay eggs in the diaper with all the poop? because that seems a little gross and unnatural to me but i really want to take her inside. 🥰
It's the best thing to have a chicken companion living in close quarters. This sounds amazing!
You can let her lay in the diaper, as long as the pouch is big enough to accommodate the volume of her egg and poop. Or, when she goes looking for a nest, take the diaper off.
does the vet insert the implant? I have a rescue 2 day old chick that Id love to make a house chicken. She is a very small chicken probably smaller than Ren. Its just so sad that we have made chickens lay so much.
yes, the vet does it!
Hii love the video I am trying to train my black chicken to like wear a harness bc then I can pick her up with the handle she is a very calm sweet girl and very tame so love the vid I'm trying to train mine
Any suggestions for getting a chicken and keeping it indoors
Ren's gonna be a star, a star I tell you. The Real Lives of Vegas House Hens *in bright lights*
Thank you so much for this video. I am about to hatch an egg of a chicken. I am really excited about it.
Best of luck!
Ren, you are so amazing and so loved!! 💗💗
AHHHH love this content!! Cant wait to see more
Ren, is so pretty.
Man, I want to be so nice, but I just got four baby chicks that have been living in my bathroom for the last month and after week one all I could think of was "people who let birds roam around their house are psychotic". I love my chickens but bird people really weird me out
If it's not for you, nbd.
I have a rooster whose name is Ren
I just subbed you and liked👍 Awesome video, cant wait for more vids on taming chickens and anything else on backyard and / or indoor chickens. " IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING NATURAL YOU SHOULD ALSO LOOK INTO TOILETS, SHOES AND MODERN MEDICINE" great rebuttal to dumb troll keyboard JERKS! 🤘
LOLOLOL If you're interested in content about taming chickens, I just posted a video about "making your chickens snuggly" about an hour ago 😊
Mix the shells with dry food it’s all about consistency
I have a rooster 😊
I really want a poultry partner
I love your choice for pet
Every black man dream 😃😄
Can u drop the diaper link?
I have chickens and I like chickens, they are neat animals.
This video is bizarre on so many levels though.
I was surprised about indoor chickens when I first learned about them too!
Thank you for making this video!! I absolutely love it. ❤
God Bless you for showing us how it possible to have an indoor chicken. I would like to know more about diaper wearing. Wouldn’t they try diligently to get that off? 🧐 😆I would appreciate it if you could make a video about it. Thank you for your channel. I’m subscribing.
Most birds will get used to it after 20 minutes but I have one bird that cants wear diapers at all.
Shes very cute, wat do u do about the salmonella aspect, chicken carry it.
All living beings carry bacteria in their bodies and on their skin. The risk is pretty low.
Заведите ей петуха!! 🐓❤
keeping chickens indoors is not natural... don't like it at all...
The modern chicken is domesticated. It is inherently unnatural and that doesn't make it bad.
Do we need to bath chick
i was thinking about keeping the chicken indoors but after seeing how crazy this all is im gonna have to re think this lol
Don't knock it 'til you try it! For me, it's decently low maintenance and chill to have indoor chickens (until they get sick with a mystery disease, which is something I'm dealing with right now)
