Diaper/nappy for a one-legged Silkie?

[Sabavana]

Hiya, long time no post!

We have just adopted a beautiful little Silkie named Ellie. She's about 6 months old, and when she was just a bub she had one of her legs ripped off by a fox It's all healed fine and she hops along with no problem, however as we'd like to have her as a mainly indoor chicken we need to protect our carpet!

We've tried a diaper/nappy from Crazy K Farm but it just doesn't quite work for her. We had to modify the fit to be from between the legs (because that's impossible!) to under her wings, but I suppose because it's not designed to be worn that way it didn't seem comfortable for her - made her lose her balance a lot more and she had more trouble going from sitting to standing.

Has anybody successfully diapered a one-legged chicken? How??? Or any advice or other places to try ordering from? I'm in Australia but happy to order from overseas.

Thanks!

That’s so great of you to give her a home. Maybe you could litter box train her?

I didn't even know you could train chickens?! Though she can't get into a box with sides so I guess it would be just training her to poop in a corner or something...

Thanks - I messaged them and asked about her situation, and they believe they would be ok for her, but they only ship to the US
