O.K. I am NOT making this up. I am old (OK I feel like I am old with my disability). We had two BIG chickens get loose yesterday. Now I am not Rocky trying to defeat Klubber lang and there was no way I was going to try to catch a chicken. Now the good news is Storm, our dog, follows hand commands to a T. I can get her to go in any speed or direction I want. Now I have never taught her this.
So anywho Storm, Mrs. Crypt and I, managed to coral her into the house.
Now this Alcatraz escapee got on my Wyndotte run in the house. My Wyndottes were in there minding there own chicken business, when the big chicken took a MAJOR dump right on one of the Wyndottes head. I wish I had one of those diapers.

Ah, your questions are quite logical. The diapers are usually lined with something - paper towel, part of a panty liner, and checked/changed after a couple hours. As for the saddle, that's not a term I would use, but they protect the hen from over zealous roosters who grab the backs of their necks during mating. Which in the world of roosters happens in what I consider to be alarming frequency. The item looks like a little apron, which would be my choice of word.
There are many companies making these items. Tess' are less expensive then many and are the ones I have, so I give her a little free promotion here. And if you have any other questions about anything, just ask. Exchanging information is what we're all about here.
