I've heard of people putting sweaters on their chickens. Maybe you could modify a dog sweater to cover her chest.
I think the littlest is liking having new friends. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/67565_102_1372.jpg

The others are doing well too. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/67565_102_1374.jpg

What did you get!

I got delawares and del crossed EE babies. The eggs in the incubator were BLRW, 1 WCP,OE, EE, 1SLW,BLRW crosses, 1st generation OE, 1BO, and SLW roo x andalusion hens.

Sounds great!

The SLW x Andalusion crosses is one of my for fun pojects. Its just worked out that my andalusion hens started laying a couple of weeks ago and we've had them separated with the roo and the only SLW hen I have. The other roos had been picking on him so I gave him a group of hens in a different pen. He's a happy boy now!

We have some roos that need new homes.

Roo #1 ETA(turns out he is an EE) Born spring 2010. We got him from Rudy Brouilette. We thought he was a she we were wrong. We don't need another roo.

Roo #2 is a barred rock mutt. Mother barred rock mutt in with a barred rock roo and leghorn roo. Born June 2010.

Roo #3 is a cuckoo maran blue americauna cross. Born halloween week 2010. Father cuckoo maran and mother blue americauna. The cuckoo flock where I got this egg didn't lay very dark eggs. I think that if he was bred back to marans the offspring would lay nice olive color eggs. He is going to be a pretty boy when he is fully grown with his neck and saddle feathers being striped like the cuckoo maran.

I know! I have a lot of roos and just don't have the pen space for all of them. And I have to draw a line someplace on how many breeding pojects to have going at once. I don't want to take on more than I can chew.

I missed a roo yesterday. This one also needs a new home too.
Roo #4 is an EE. Mother EE and father is a BO. Broody bantam hatched him out in August 2010.
