Who all here has "permanent" house chickens?
I would like to hear more about your experience with your chicken living indoors.
I would also like to hear about your chicken learning to wear diapers.
My silkie is having a difficult time learning to wear diapers. My seramas had no trouble after a...
Well I was posting with my Seramas some time ago and they unfortunately had to go because of the rooster.. so I have been sulking, chickenless, in the background.
Well I am back, with one little silky! And she is such a cutie! I don't have a name for her. A couple of pics. Will get some...
Hi All,
Ok, soooooooo, got the two incubators since I don't have enough eggs from Ginger and Sesame to get a decent sized clutch in a timely manner..
and, the date came when I was to move the first egg to the hatching/lock down incubator.
So, I pull out this little brown egg which was only...
Okay, so I need some opinions..
my three little chickens are Seramas. My smallest girl, Ginger, is the size of a coturnix quail.
as you may know, Seramas are fairly good flyers. I would like to let them have free playtime in my backyard. But if someone were to flutter over my fence they would...

OMG I'm dying of cuteness overload!!!!

Thank you for the great info!!!!!!

Hi,
did you get it from louisescountrycloset ? on ebay?
Even on my smallest chicken the diaper isn't too heavy. The ones I bought have a small V cut at the top of the poop catching part of the diaper and the tail sets snuggley in the V. The entire cup shaped portion for catching poo is snug...
Hi,
if the poo is falling out you may have the wrong size. I will take some close up pics in the AM and post them for you.
The "diaper" part of the diaper should fit to your chickens bum like a seal. So it makes complete contact all the way around the chickens cloaca.
I will post those pics...
I think they take a while to get used to. you might consider getting Finn used to wearing anything... even doll clothing,that way by the time the diaper fits... no big deal
Hi,

Here is a pic of Kung Pao in his Diaper.. he is also wearing a NO CROW collar.. so that is not part of the diaper.
Hi All,
Quite a few years back I had a barred rock that lived in my apt. She was the SWEETEST chicken ever.. She loved to lay in my lap and purr while I pulled her feathers thru my fingers.
Ha! she would lie in my lap looking like road kill... all flopped out.
I miss having chickens.. but I...
