Nappies for chickens
« on: June 08, 2010, 06:20:49 pm »
I came across http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=131065&p=1

And was a bit nonplussed.  To put it mildly  :o

Anyone heard of this - or  used them??

That is awful, did make me chuckle though. Only in America I guess. :)

I wonder if he'll do me some waterproof jackets & wellies for my girls ... it's kinda wet out there you know  :D


Methinks he's got too much time on his hands   ::)

Quite an entrepreneur!
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Don't get me wrong, its bizarre.  ;D

But, reading through some of the posts I can see some instances where it was useful- one lady was a volunteer taking the chickens to nursing homes for the elderly and very ill, so they can stroke the chickens. This way its not a health risk.  :P


But generally - barmy  ::)
