Have you tried lining them with really thin panti-liners? When Herman goes on school visits, I criss-cross two inside his diaper. Not only does it absorb nicely, but if I catch it quickly (which is easy to do because he's pretty obvious about it,) I can get several changes out of a single diaper. It sure saves on wear and tear ... and stink!
That’s what I tell my husband!!!
Guineas? Quiet? We must live on different planets!
Our Herman is a Silkie. He's awesome!
“Degenerate barnyard breeds”
I just found my calling in life! You know how people dress their dogs. Put them in pretty little purses...I’ll make square bottom purses lined with pine shavings. Cut just right so the chickens head could stick out. The handles would snap at the top (to prevent jumping out). Make them bedazzled or country or what ever styles are requested. MrRoo since your a man it would be called a Murse (man purse). Ima millionaire Viola!!!
The mere barnyard breeds have shorter productive lifespans, lack self preservation skills, can't be trained as easily, aren't good problem solvers, and have very little natural instinct. They have traded it all for fluffiness, high egg production, or fast growth rate. They are nothing like what a chicken can be.
The mere barnyard breeds is what most people want and I doubt many people really care. They like the fluffy chickens and high egg production. Orientals sure isn’t the best thing going. Not everyone is gonna like what you like. No need to try to force feed them. Especially on a thread where they’re putting diapers on chickens.
