    barred rock

    I am planning on buying a chicken saddle for our barred rock hen, from my pet chicken....would I go with the medium (7.5 x 7.25 for average chickens) or the large (9.25 x 8 for larger breeds) I've never fitted a chicken for a saddle, so your help is appreciated!

    Adding a hen

    Wow.... So does the behaviors of my current flock at all matter on how they would accept a silkie? I ask because they have never displayed any aggresion towards each other, or my dogs. I had planned on keeping them in separate cages for a few weeks, but next to each other so they could see...
