Chicken Diapers...

I didn't know where to post this but who has experience with chicken diapers? What kind do chickens like the best and which ones work the best? Thanks guys, I know its an odd question.

Well, I have one I bought from avian fashions for my oegb girl Aiko, she's not terribly fond of it, but she deals with it. I got a over-the-tail full body wrap one. My experiences have been good, but duck/goose diapers were easier to apply to my waterfowl babies than chicken diapers were to put on a chicken. I can get pics if you like.

I'm still new to chickens, why would a chicken need a diaper?

 

[HetaChick]

People often get them for birds they keep indoors partially or all of the time to prevent having poop on stuff. That'd get gross. XP

Sure, i'd love to see a picture! Chicken diapers are also useful if you have a sick chicken and need to keep it inside.

Wow! I never heard of a chicken wearing a diaper. I'm amazed at what I learn here. I'd love to see a picture as well and where do you buy them?

There are a variety of websites if you google search it, thats why I was hoping everyone could tell me which one is best xp
You can also make them but I'm afraid I dont have those sewing skills.

Alrighty, I'll get a pic of her as soon as I can.

I ordered from Avian Fashions

And I would recommend them. I like her diaper, it has two plastic liners that come out to be washed.
I also happened to get an adorable patchwork one.



And yes, that's why I mentions the partial indoorers, it's excellent for sick birds you need to keep an eye on.

I looked on that site and only saw them for ducks/ geese? What type/ size did you get for your chicken? I will definitely need some of these soon!

Sorry for late replies! Very busy. Well, I got the bantam size, since she's an oegb mix. I bought the over the tail type one, they said it covers more and I'd have to agree it works really nice.
