surfer_chicken Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Don't ask me how I found this, because I don't really know, but I thought I should share it so you could enjoy it too. Bird Pants: http://www.birdwearonline.com/index.html The site seems to be geared towards pigeon fanciers, but it's advertised as chicken friendly. I don't think I'll be ordering one anytime soon. You can also add a lead to your bird pants for only $5! I don't think my girls would be very happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Dear me ! I know we love our chucks and some do let them in the house but really poop containment beggers belief.What a lot of dirty bottoms to have to wash if the girls run around wearing these let alone having to wash the knickers too....no sorry as nature intended for me.

LolaLayla Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 You would need to change them a lot YS always wanted to get hats for them to wear so I had better not let him see this It will be designer chicken wear next....instead of having a little dog in a bag you could take a chicken out with you dressed in its fancy pants etc....sorry slight madness has set in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 http://19sunset.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/notoriously-stupid-chicken-edition/ P I've seen it all now. Poor little silkie. Next thing will be a way of strapping a potty to your child's botty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 This came up a while ago; a woman in America who put a nappy on her silkie so that she could keep it indoors, she even took it in her swimming pool with her. I really don't understand the need to treat them like indoor pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 This came up a while ago; a woman in America who put a nappy on her silkie so that she could keep it indoors, she even took it in her swimming pool with her. I really don't understand the need to treat them like indoor pets. I know what you mean. Sure, my girls get the same love attention as any other person would treat their pet cat etc. but they're happier outside where they're meant to be (and I'm happier with them outside and not having to buy chicken nappies!), there's no need to bring them inside. Nevermind the swimming pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The only time I've ever considered doing something like this was when Topaz was ill and I brought her indoors. She was rather 'squirty', thankfully she didn't want to walk around much. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I don't bring the girls in either. They poo so much it would be awful. I would also worry that they may drop mites etc that could cause a problem There is a story behind this worry. Years ago, before chickens, YS was playing in the garden with an old nest which he brought into the house. Not long after I started getting flea bites then the children did too. I was hysterical, hoovering and spraying insecticide like a maniac to get rid of the fleas (we had no pets). Eventually I managed to catch one and it was sent away to find out what sort of flea it was. We were told it was a bird flea so I can only think it came from the nest. They soon were killed but it horrified me to think we were dealing with fleas and I don't want to have to do that again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennym Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Do you reckon Tori Spelling has a chicken bottom-washer on staff? Surely it needs to be done, erm, regularly? I just can't see her doing it herself. Bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 The poor hen in the white outfit with a zip looks fairly hacked off. Some one should put one on this silly womans face - preferably a full one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
