| Saddle Operation |
Making the saddle was one thing; putting it on the chicken was a different story! After showing the hen its new coat, we got the hen in a very tight grip. One person had to pull out each wing while another slipped the elastic over it (without catching on the feathers). Meanwhile the hen squirming and flapping and trying to get away from this “thing” attacking it! It started out as at least a three-person operation! The one trick was holding a cup of scratch right in front of the hen’s beak which distracted it a little bit at least. Here is Pepper trying to decide between an enticing cup of scratch and that strange blue thing on its back!
