pacificpikachuHmmm, after doing some research on all the animals I mentioned in the entry, for now I think the only thing I'm going to focus on for now (besides the rooster for my flock) is finding some seramas! Seramas are the smallest breed of chicken in the world, and in addition to being bred to be very small, they are also bred for personality--to be very affectionate, friendly, and love people. :D
I really want a trio of seramas (two hens, one rooster) to keep as indoor pets, as it sounds like they're exactly the sort of critter I'm looking for. Unusual, sweet and easy to handle, tiny, fairly hardy, can be housed indoors, poultry, legal, and they just sound awesome in general. The problem is that they're difficult to find, so I have to try to hunt some down eventually! There's a site where a lot of the seramas seem to originate, but it's $100-250 a pair, plus $50 shipping, and none of them are even available at the moment to begin with. D: So expensive for tiny chickens!
If I do manage to get a hold of some, I'm definitely going to have them as total, beloved house pets. Including like, bringing them places with me and whatnot. XD (Oh, the reactions I'll get!)
For now, I don't think chinchillas or goats or doves are the sorts of critters I'm after, though of course that could easily change at some point in the future.
I still do want some chukar for my coop in the spring, though, and I would definitely like to get some button quail and bantam ducks whenever I have space/time/energy for those animals.
