This is my Buff Orpington, Cinderella. I had to make her a special saddle because she was brutally attacked by my dog. She almost did not make it, but pulled through in the end. Her back was totally naked and had deep wounds so the saddle was extra padded and protected her while she healed! And it looked cute too!
If I could vote. . . . . . I love the one with the Iris !
When I was a kid (and had lots of time....) I swiped one of my mom's emery boards when I needed to file my banty rooster's claws/nails ..... and I used hoof nippers on his spurs......
(Now that I have typed that, I am thinking, GOD ! how barbaric, HOOF NIPPERS )
But, I was very careful, and it seemed to work !
Maybe someone should try out that neat looking gadget called Pedi-Paws and let us know if it works on chickens too.
