Guide to Keeping House Chickens

House chickens (aka keeping chickens inside your home with you) are becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Sometimes it’s because the bird has a disability or other disadvantage which inhibits them from thriving in a typical flock environment, is recovering from an illness or injury, or it may be purely for companionship (chickens make excellent companions!).
