Blue Saddles

Backyard Poultry
Denim Saddles
Now the Barred Rocks are in style too! Beside the pink saddles, we made some blue ones, out of regular denim, with the same method. In this picture you can see the topstitching across and up-and-down on the saddles, which makes them lay down better. We put all the pink ones on the Rhode Island Reds, and blue on the Barred Rocks, as if they matched somehow! These two chickens are Peeper and Midnight, enjoying some carrot peels we threw in the run.

What did the neighbors think?

I think it seemed a bit unusual to them. Several told us our chickens were wearing dresses!
