I have chickens and often use diapers when they are inside for special care (sick, injured, etc.). But I am getting Sebastopol Geese hatching eggs this spring, and seriously considered having a house goose. But even if I didn't, there may be a time when I'll need to bring one inside for similar reasons to the chickens.
SO FAR, I have found plenty of sites for diapers. The chicken diapers I have were made by a friend who has since moved away. So I'm technically on the search for a new supplier of chicken diapers, but ALSO a supplier of goose diapers.
Price and leak protection are the most important aspects. I have seen Avian Fashions, and Feather Fashions, and both are somewhat expensive, but maybe a bit too much for my taste in terms of fashion. I want simple, and slimmed down. Functional.
Another site I was directed to is http://www.louisescountrycloset.com/chicken-diapers/ and I wrote them to find out they DO make them in goose sizes, you just have to request it when you order. The super-adjustability with elastic bands makes it sound pretty leak-proof, and the price is awesome. However, I don't know of anyone that uses them for geese, so while I have testimony on leak protection for chickens, the same isn't always true for geese. Although I was told that these have plastic on the inside, so you technically don't need an insert - just wash it off and reuse it.
But does anyone else know of any other goose diaper providers that have cheap prices, with good leak protection? I'm not even really sure I'm keeping a goose inside yet, but I know I'll need one for back-up for injuries and illnesses, and want to be prepared before these eggs even arrive!
