Chicken bandanas?

[Weeg]

Hello everyone! I have one RIR rooster and he has pulled feathers out of the back of multiple hens necks. I have tired chicken saddles and they ended up cutting into there wings and they looked uncomfortable. I have though about making my own saddle that looped around there necks and bellies that I might try inventing, but that wouldn't solve the neck problem. I was thinking about making them bandanas that went around there neck so the rooster couldn't pull out there feahturs. Now I am looking for designs! It would have to, stay up and no fall dow to the bottom of the neck, be safe and possibly breakaway for free range time, and the only concern is the rooster grabs there neck when he mates them, so if he grabbed the bandana would he hurt them by yanking the bandana and choking them? I need some ideas and then I will invent it, and if you want me to make some for your hens, I will! Thanks in advance, Avery

Your basically describing a chicken harness

 

[Weeg]

Your right! But it would be the normal saddle top, and then a thin elastic band would loop around there belly and neck. It would be simpler to make than the accrual harness! What about the bandana?

 

[Weeg]

It would hav not look more like this, but upgraded for long term and so it would stay up.

Or even like this! But longer!

Thanks everyone! I might just wing it when I get the supply's and make adjustments from there, but any feedback I would love! I am trying to create a model for a duck too, but will be much harder because it would hav got be either really light material, or waterproof. My idea was something like this for a duck, what do you think, you hav got pretend that the boot dryer is a duck head! Lol!

Thank you! I am very excited to continue the process of making these, and if they work, I would defiantly sell them on BYC, but anyone who helps with the design gets 50% off! I really appreciate the support and ideas!
