Chickens in the house...as pets?

[misle]

My roommate is seriously talking about getting chickens and keeping them IN the house. She owns the house we live in, but am I the only person who finds this ridiculous?

We also have a big ol' dog (half Lab, half Chow). Well the dog eat the chickens?

Basically I really don't want fvckin' chickens in the house and I need a few good arguments against it (aside from it being utterly ridiculous!).

Will they damage/sh!t on everything?

Thanks

When she brings in chickens. Just crack their necks and cook them.

Chickens will set off most dog's instincts to hunt... does it get along with cats?

Yes, they will damage everything... Chickens are some of the dumbest animals on earth.

Chickens are the dumbest and most dirty foul animal on the planet (Turkeys too...) so why would anyone in their right mind want them in the house? Your roomate is a nutcase.

Most farm animals don't make good inside pets.. chickens are not an exception.

just think, when your hungry there will always be food running around the house.

Tell her you want to bring a cow into the house.

This thread brings to mind the scene where Napoleon smells his hand and wretches after handling the chickens.

I am sorry, but I couldn't help but reply to this.

Ask myjaja. Apparently, he had a pet chicken in his house, and it destroyed his sisters laptop.

Very tempting. I don't have a problem with killing them either.

Dunno about cats, but he chases squirrels and birds in the back yard.

I'm not arguing.

Great. I'll have to move everything I own into my room and keep the door closed.

A rooster maybe, but definitely not chickens. Even then, the people we knew who had a rooster didn't let it IN the house, it just stayed outside the whole time. They're pretty funny animals if you have the outdoor space for them.

We have a big backyard, but she has a garden back there and half of the yard is enclosed by a 6 ft fence, the other half by a 4 ft fence. I expect them to jump the fence and be gone.

I would say no -- especially considering the threat of an avian flu outbreak in the near future.

Convinient when you get hungry. Just don't name it first.

Ask your dumb sh*t roommate if she thinks she can potty train chickens.

 

[ironcrotch]

So you will be living in a chicken coup?

And quite unsanitary too... guess where the 'bird flu' comes from?

I had a great uncle that had a bantum rooster in the house as a pet. It was house trained and would walk on a leash.

Also my grandfather had a lot of chickens and the dogs didn't bother them.
