This evening I run up a chicken saddle for one of the chickens
The two cockerels were being a bit over amorous with her and she was losing the feathers on her back.
I had to wait until it was dark and snatch her off the perch to get dressed
She screamed the place down.
I did spot another one with a bald spot so will run up another saddle tomorrow for her.
They will keep them on until there feathers re-grow.
I will get some better photos of them sporting there new outfits
Hi Dawn :) Nice saddles! I admit, this is a first for me, brilliant idea though!
ReplyDeleteIts not my idea I found the pattern on the web
DeleteI have never heard of a chicken saddle. Very stylish.
ReplyDeleteThey are fairly when know about in the poultry world
DeleteWhat can I say Dawn apart from brilliant!
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteYou learn something new everyday, amazing. The other hens are going to be so jealous!
ReplyDeleteyes they are lining up wanting one
DeleteWhy do they always scream when we're trying to do something good for them? Reminds me of toddlers sometimes. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am sure the nighbours could hear and must of thought she was being attacked
DeleteWhat a fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me-x-
It was either buy them for £24 or make one, having lots of fabric to hand it only took 15 mins to make.
DeleteYour hens are lucky, such pretty outfits to protect their backs! Not to mention the practicality of the saddles of course, this is great.
ReplyDeleteI hope when the new younger chooks come into lay the older ones will get so respite
DeleteGosh quite an undertaking to dress a chicken, but worth it I am sure!
ReplyDeleteIt is when you are trying to do it on your own
