Today I’m making six (!) chicken saddles for my flock. I’ve found a few how-tos and patterns, and I have a few questions:
what difference does the shape make? Some of them have little extended curved area at the corners. Does that help keep is smooth for the wings or something? It seems like it’d be better to have it longer on the middle to cover the worst of it.
Should I make different sizes for my Easter eggers and Cuckoo Marans?
Is a thicker or thinner fabric better?
Any advantage to using fusible lining as some patterns recommend?
I have some heavy denim, so I was thinking about using that with this pattern: https://weallsew.com/how-to-make-a-chicken-apron-or-hen-saddle/
