Well your 3 year old son is awesome
for the little man

He is. You should see him stuff his shirt and sing, "I'm fat!" at the top of his lungs.

What material do you use for them? I don't know how I should stitch mine together, could you maybe post a picture of your seams?

@Mirajane here is the pattern I was following http://backtobasicliving.com/blog/make-a-chicken-saddle/ For fabric, one is a lightweight cotton which has iron on interfacing as shown in the pattern. The others are flannel without interfacing. If you go with a lighter fabric I would recommend the interfacing to bulk it up for protection against rooster claws. My seams are a mess, mostly because I figured the chickens wouldn't care. I was mostly aiming for it not to fall apart. I hope to pickup some more supplies soon I'll try to get some pics of a work in progress.

Your saddles look very nice I actually just picked up a few yards of denim and of fleece to make some up. I make 3 kinds. First kind is just double layered cotton fabric. It's very thin and lightweight. Second one is denim backed for better protection from claws and spurs while still being fairly light. Third is fleece backed for extra warmth and protection at the same time. I think I'll be making up a bunch next week

For all the plant lovers in this thread, we visited today a natural reserve near home, in this reserve grows a flower that grow only there in the all world! This flower is the crimson Iris , Iris atrpurpurea that now is in full flowering now!





This one is a wild garlic, the forefather of all the garlic we eat!

You just made my day with these beautiful images!!! I love irises!!!

I need to make or buy one of these - one of the smallest NN girls is getting worn a bit rough by their rooster - broken feathers, and I found a healing wound last night. Healing well, but still worrying. He's a LOT bigger than she is...

One more cup of coffee, and I'm going to fight the need to nap and go put up a paddock fence for the Cream Legbars instead. They are SO stir crazy since I took down their previous outdoor pen - their coop is plenty big enough, but they're used to ranging...

Aren't those flags that's what my mom has and they are the same thing as those and that's what my mom calls them

So it turns out that there IS a feed store near me that sells incubators. Checked my local Horta through the website and found they sell this incubator for 10-16 eggs:

I'm gonna do research on it here, but I wanted to post in this thread so I could get opinions from you folk. Also the Horta sells red mite killer so I'll probably order that!

Do you not realize you're risking life, limb, and various other maladies by speaking to her, or even looking at her, 'til she's had two pots of coffee, minimum?

Did you not read the part where I told her not to read this part?

Earlier, that was not an exaggeration. Now I would fall at his feet, begging for affection.
Got that right!

You are loved MC

Well I'm outta here again. Chicken coop needs cleaned as does the turkey coop. Anybody wanna buy my turkeys?
