Happy update! Clover has made a full recovery! Last night she was finally able to jump on and perch and this morning I let her and Bones out in the yard with the flock to get some exercise.


I saw poor Bones by herself, so went out and she ran up to me and let me pick her up. She's such a sweetheart. Followed me in the house, so we will definately be looking into those mask diapers! I will bring Clover in tonight as well so they can be together.

I have a Shih Tzu/Jack Russell mix terrier named Bones and he is the same color as this chicken, lol.

Confessions of a chicken tender:
I pocketed some of those masks from the lobby of my PCP's office when I took my granddaughter there the other day just because of this. I think I got 3 or 4

This is so wonderful. I was afraid to read ahead not knowing what would happen. I’m glad they have found a friend in each other.

(Ear loop masks like a dentist wears make great chicken diapers. )

@FlyingNunFarm , how exactly do you put the masks on a chicken? I tried it once before but couldn't get it to stay

As someone else described it... “like a slingshot”

Loops around the wings then pull back over the tail to the butt fluff.
