Thank you, I hatched him myself so I didn't know he was going to be a boy, I ordered a dark brahma pullet baby so he will have someone his size
Though she is only 4 months old right now she'll catch up

Best to remove the cock/erel, IMO,
than dress chickens in clothing that may impede feather growth.
Maybe a get a Chihuahua?
Or my friend makes seasonal aprons for her dish detergent bottle.

We checked the chickens we got in June with the pecked clean backs every week for feather growth. The feathers have started growing in just fine. The aprons came off today.

SEE! THAT'S WHY I COME TO BYC! I even learn things l didn't know I didn't know.
I have seen pics of those "aprons". Never really thought about them. Assumed maybe they were like the "tramp stamps" that so many women have now. Something to catch the eye of the .

I would try a color other than red. Chickens are allergic to red....
