Saddle Solution

Backyard Poultry
An Easy Answer!
Research revealed that there is an easy solution for such feather issues: it’s called a chicken saddle (or chicken apron, if you like). It protects their backs from the roosters’ feet and spurs, and lies neatly under the wings and neck feathers. Here you can see Buckeye demonstrating the new look...do you think Maple may be a little jealous? It’s true, some chickens lost more feathers than others; either they were Puzzle’s favorites (getting most attention), or they were on the bottom of the pecking order (making easy targets). Coming right up...Make your own chicken saddle!

I guess even chickens have to wear pink.

Yes, well, we had that extra fabric around, but I think they liked the blue better. :)
