So my little pet hen Radagast (avatar) is my pride and joy, and is often a source of comfort with a recent unfortunate diagnosis of lupus. She is the smartest bird i have ever had, and I love her to death.. which is why i want to make her life as easy as possible. I heard about the Suprelorin...
The ones I made didn't slip of the week old chick, but I could have been lucky? I think the tail straps were thick enough they stayed pretty well, I'm getting more chicks in October so Ill try troubleshooting it see if it works :P
I apologize in advance, but I just feel the need to gush about my Rad baby right now, and how much she has both saved and enriched my life the two years I have had the pleasure caring for her.
I got a rough diagnosis of lupus two years ago just after I turned 18, I was terrified and angry, and...
I do not :/ the only part I use any sort of template for is the diaper, and i still have to custom size everything. When she has her babies I'd be happy to kinda walk her through how I made diapers? I have put these on a week old chick before, it would be good for the little guys to learn early ;)
I'll be sure to pass on the compliment These tend to be relatively adjustable, so somewhere close should be good enough. I designed them for their comfort first, human convenience last. (For some reason people don't really like having to pin it)
I'll start today! And I figure I may as well...

I think with her build you are right about where to measure her girth size, and you might measure from her vent to wing instead of tail to wing. She is very short backed compared to Rad! Inches would also be great
I'll need a measurement around her belly, just behind the wings. From the base her tail to the start of her wings, and the measurement should be snug but not tight. If you could post a photo of your girl out would help me get an idea about her body type, and help me choose what fabrics to work with
That's terrible I checked and I can mail it for under 10 USD, which is good for me. I just really wanna try this ! Pick which of your ladies needs a diaper first, and we can see about getting measurements
I think we could try! It could be fun mailing that far away My original guinea pig was in the UK, so I'm prepared to ship that far! Do you have Facebook?
So I have a proposition for all y'all.. I had to custom design diapers that my radbird will tolerate (she HATES every model I could find) and after being unable to find one with the same benefits, I'm hoping to "sell them" (not looking for any profits, I just wanna see happy chicks) the diapers...
