She was our roo's favorite when he first got sexually active. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it. And she wasn't very willing. He's never broken her skin though, and she's looked like that for something like 4 months. The roo is much better at it now, and much more gentle, so I haven't seen a need for a saddle. And he hasn't been focusing his advances on her either, but she has just stayed bald and feather free on her back. That's why I hope she molts after raising these little ones. It doesn't seem to bother her, she slept outside in -20C weather just fine. She just isn't very photogenic...
If I were to make a saddle though, I saw a great idea somewhere. Take one of those beanie caps (the tight fitting ones), cut holes for the head and wings, and presto, you've got yourself some chicken couture.

for a cure for you. My dad lived with his CLL for over ten years before he had to get treatment. He went through one bout of chemo, was in "remission" for a year and had started another bout of chemo when it started snowballing. When he was diagnosed they were very clear that there was no cure for his type of leukemia. Even bone marrow transplants would only keep it at bay for a few years. He opted to not go that route for exactly that reason. I really hope your type if there is no cure, at least is not as pernicious as his was. I hope you get to keep your outstanding oncologist or can find someone just as good in your new area.
