Thank you. Good to know the feathers will grow back. I think I'd better get the saddles. My hens are looking so disheveled. Where do you get them?

I knew you would like the egg mix Tina, because you are such an egg connoisseur. But I wish so much you could learn to love the inside of the egg more.

Tina makes saddles btw

drom, I ordered my chicken saddles from Marion LoPrinzi at the web addy below:

I got the larges for mine. I'd gotten a couple of the large longs but they were a bit too long and seemed to drive the hens crazy to wear them, so I keep those for spares when I'm washing the others.
I dry them all flat and they do great. The elastic and snaps stay good as new and that's through regular washings. I've had my first set for over a year now on the Orps and just put the second set I ordered on my Marans a month after they started laying in January.

I think another BYC'er sells them too, Moodene. Everyone looks very happy with hers too.

Yes, I just adore my EE. She is such a good hen. She gives me 6, sometimes 7, identical eggs every week and they have really nice color. I bought her at a feed store for $2. Hee. What a gem. I wish now I had bought more than one of the chicks from that clutch.

I do like the inside of the eggs, they are very pretty too! Inside the blue eggs and brown eggs, they are white, so there. I love the inside of eggs!

Oh yes, and I have several almost done for your girls, just finishing the snaps, which are defeating me! I am going to go back to buttons! I am not handy at the snap thing apparently. And I just like to make them according to what size the chicken is. This size fits my Salmon Favorelle and Rhode Island Red nicely. Larger or smaller birds, I would adjust the pattern. Silkies I have a smaller pattern for, I made it out of construction paper.

My favorite saddle is quite a fashion statement, I made one for Morticia whether she needs it or not! It's a black and white material with Skulls on it! My boys picked it out!

Almost done though!

I missed being able to comment on these chicks yesterday but those black and white chick pics are about the cutest things I have ever seen. Those are beautiful little chicks.

Oh look at those! Those are really cute. Do you use them for your Marans hens Tina? What size do they need?

Thanks!
The Marans dont need them, my roo is such a gentleman, he doesnt tear up the ladies! But if they were to need one, it would be the same size as the Rhode Island, etc....just the ones I have here! I use all kinds of material, for fun.
