No, it isn't as hard as I thought it would be. You do need two people--- one to hold the chicken and its head and one person to place them on the chicken. I just kind of cradled them against my chest and held their heads and my husband popped them in. They squawked, tried shaking them out but once they got used to them they have had no ill effects at all. Some have fallen off over time and so far no new bald spots! It just takes a little patience at first.... then you develop your "technique" and the rest go on quickly. It is important to keep them soaking in hot water though because it makes them softer, more flexible and so easier to put in place..
OH--- another thing--- make sure you ask for any color but red--- I tried a few red and I had to take them out because red draws chicken's attention and they naturally peck. Mine all have yellow.
