1 month old chick HATES diaper!!!

[nuthatched]

This is an old thread but meat chickens can live a long and happy life on a restricted diet.

If always on one, any diet won't do anything if they're at dispatch age already

edit: I can see rescuing one to prevent it being fed to a snake but keeping one inside and forcing it to wear a diaper is a a mistake .
I couldn't in good conscience watch one stay curled up in a ball knowing they don't live long anyway. I didn't realize this was an old post

I had one for over 6 good years. I'm glad she got to live a life.

Was it a Cornish cross or different type?

Did you start out with a controlled diet?

I started after a few months of having her when I learned about her breed. I got her from a live meat market when she already had feathers but was still peeping.

.. but since I’ve started putting it on her, she just sits like a lump and sleeps CONSTANTLY when she wears it.. ...

= signs of stress.

Should return the diapers to the rip off artists who defrauded you, they did make a claim about it being ok after 20 minutes, but it wasn't, so return it. Also learn the lesson about not getting ripped off in the first place.

chickens can be toilet trained as far as I know. I haven't done it myself, I just let them go wherever they like. just like me.



I don't care about the consequences for that joke, the laugh was worth it.!

just hope god doesn't make me incontinent.

hey, puzzle me this, how come chickens can go anywhere anytime and it's not called incontinence ?

Is there anyway you could get a guinea pig or a similar small pet for your anxiety ? That way your chickie could live outside (assuming you could get a coop and other chickens).

hold on, chickens do it in one spot at a time, guinea pigs are like machine guns and pepper the whole room, or perhaps more like roadway marking machines they leave a trail.
