i bought some of those a few weeks ago and they certainly helped! someone at the last swap was looking for them and i mentioned that was the lady i got them from! it takes a day or tow for the birds to get used to them but they fit well!

i may try and make a few with all the fabric i have kicking around in my craft supplies. i'm not sure how soon i would be able to get to making them though-between birds, gardening and work i have a full schedule.

I got saddles for some of my hens. They weren't thrilled at first but they adjusted just fine. I got the basic ones, but there are ones designed for the more active hen that are harder to remove.​

I tried to put one on my GLW hen the other night and she had it off by morning.

LOL, can you blame them really! So you fared well on your ride today? That was good. i am glad for you, now you need to try the ride to Shays! You can do it!!!!

One of these days I will get brave enough to go to Shays. There was no traffic in the morning for the ride up there but on the way back I had to take my happy pills and close my eyes a few times. Then the Border Patrol was stopping everyone. I made him get off the highway after Tilton and take the back way home..........

If I ever get my sewing machine set up again, I will venture to make some if I can find the pattern again. Everything is still packed until we find a house.

Shays is a hop, skip and a jump from Milford and not even a quarter of the distance you drove to go to Littleton! The other thing is that is is not a highway, but a nice scenic country rural route!

Not sure why they were there. Maybe looking for people who were drinking and driving? I know on holidays they do set up checkpoints for that. What cracked me up was they stopped everyone right in the middle of the highway and had a big ole van in the middle turn around between north and south. I am not sure what they call that. They had dogs also.

Yes, but I have a hard time going to Milford too. My anxieties are terrible. I don't know why Donny even puts up with me some times and I hate to take my meds because they make me so tired. I will get brave enough one day to make it to Shays. It sounds like alot of fun.

I have several Muscovy ducklings that are less than a week old right now. I am asking $8 ea. I will bring them to the swap, but if anyone wants some sooner, you're welcome to pick them up in Ayer, MA.

I don't, LOL! That picture was taken almost immediately after putting them in the bin.
