Hi, we have a 14 month old bantam RIR, who injured her hip 3-4 weeks ago and is losing weight. She is eating and drinking, and she gets around, but Im concerned our cold weather is just going to make it harder for her to maintain a good weight and heal properly. I thought about having her put to sleep (yes I know some people might be laughing at me because some chose to kill their chickens when any problems arise), but she is quite a character and she is still herself, other than her wobbly gimp. We are quite attached to her, especially my busband, because she was our first chicken, and we only have a small flock of 7, and they are pets, not for dinner.
I know some people bring chickens inside and use a chicken diaper. I think bringing her in would be her best shot at recuperating, especially since our winters can be -20 degrees. (I hate it, but my husband refuses to move, lol).
Can anyone please tell me a good site to order chicken diapers from and if chickens really wear them? Any thoughts and/or experiences anyone can share about diapers would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
Sara
