Lesley Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It was mentioned once on River Cottage forum, that it is possible to buy 'chicken diapers'! I've a feeling that we could all do with some for 'Take your chicken to work day' ! Has anyone else heard about them? Probably a case of 'It could only happen in America!' But knowing James, he's probably already got some planned! Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hi Lesley what are you doing up so early. Chicken diapers would be great my little gils has some nappys for her doll my try them on the chooks later. Hi Nicola Carl had to leave early this morning so just thought I'd look in! I didn't get to watch neighbours until 11.30pm yesterday, so now everyone knows just how sad I am! Lauren also has dolls nappies and she will be here after school so I will also be looking at them. I'm a bit worried about taking an incontinent chicken to a clients office! Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Sorry but I can hardly type for laughing and crying at the same time. The mind just boggles. It's got to be an american idea. How on earth do they stay on and what about laying. Please post pictures or adverts if you have any. I can't wait to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 NO! I don't believe it! Nappies for chickens? Whatever next? It goes against my green principles but they'd have to be disposables, wouldn't they? Would YOU want to put them in YOUR washing machine? I think not! I await news with baited breath......

SarahJo Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Who makes them .. Huggies or Pampers . James has avoided telling me so far, about the 23rd .. you have any luck yet Lesley . Sarah Ginger and Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I can't think they'd be very comfortable! Please please find the website so we can all have a laugh! Mind you thinking of this weather I was toying with the idea of making raincoats for the girls - only joking - apart from shaking a lot their feathers are very waterproof and I doubt I could improve on that Nicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 (edited) Here we go: Sarah, No, I haven't heard from James - he's going to post details in the forum Kate, you're not going to believe this..... they are reusable! I haven't been able to stop laughing all morning. The sites are just so hilarious Not only are they reusable but come in lots of different colours - I'm going for Magenta myself! FAQ's are so funny but there didn't seem to be any replies and I really need the answers. I've had time to find the answers now - right below the questions Check out: www.backyardchickens.com www.browneggblueegg.com I've just checked and these two didn't work with the links I put but I've deleted that part and you can just check their main website. With BYC browse their Message Board - I ran out of time, and with BEBE look at General Links. but the funniest is: www.chickendiapers.com I suppose it's a bit late for bulk orders now so will have to improvise.

nicki Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Lesley I can hardly stop crying - I don't think I really believed you. The poor thing didn't look very dignified with its little 'balloon' . I won't be rushing out to get some but I'm sure some people will think they are great. James - fancy increasing the stock range of your shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James - fancy increasing the stock range of your shop? No they don't look very dignified do they! so I thought I'd give it a go. One doll's nappy, one camera, one indignant wet chicken, one very wet owner and a tin of sweetcorn! - see the result in Gallery in my album. If my OH sees this he'll have me certified! Lesley Oh! - and I dropped the camera and it's doing very strange things - I'm just off to hide it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Ollie (11yrs) is HORRIFIED that these American Idiots can be so "CRUEL" to their chickens! (sorry if any of you are American! It's only reinforced what we already believe about you!) He was most upset to see the poor chook with the flowery cape on in the gallery! Bless Well, we wouldn't do it to OUR girls, would we - would we???? I think the diapers look like the poor hen's sat on something and got it stuck to it's bum! I was expecting something more along the lines of our old fashioned terry nappies with big nappy pins - maybe I've seen too many cartoons!

Nicola H Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Lesley you nutter I think your photograph is so funny I will show the kids when they get back from school how long did it stay on for.(the nappy i mean) Hope your camera is ok!

Lesley Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Lesley, THAT'S what I had in mind (Lesley's photo album - gallery)!!! You need to get out more, dear ! Yes I know but it's a wet day AND I've finished the tiling. Tallulah was not too amused and then stepped out of it. Don't know what Lauren's going to say when she sees her one and only dolls nappy, it looks like the dolls have been playing Rugby (and no, I haven't put it back on the doll!)

It stayed on about 20 seconds but she's so greedy I just managed to take the photo. The camera is very strange. It uploaded the one photo I had taken and all the very first photos I took when it was new, two years ago Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRotty Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Oh Lesley - how funny Some of the photo's on those American sites are dreadful! So twee...do people have nothing better to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Lesley, Is Tallulah (and Lauren, come to think of it) speaking to you yet??? I hope she didn't mind being the model for the soon to be patented Omlet Chicken Diaper! Question - what do those poor American chickens do indoors all day? Our girls seem to live for scratching, dustbathing and bug eating so what on earth do the American girls get up in the morning for ? I'm glad I live in good old Blighty where we're not quite so eccentric - Lesley excluded, obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 Thanks Kate - nice to know who your friends are! That site must have had so many hits this afternoon, I tried to show Lauren but it couldn't be accessed. She thought it was hilarious but I have to buy another dolls nappy.

MrsRotty Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Just a thought, but could we not have some chicken boots to prevent their feet getting all muddied up? The possibilities for chicken-wear are endless...hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
