BatmansWife Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Oh for petes sake! I had to google this. There's even a website to order the diapers: chickendiapers.com. Personally.....I think they look stupid. How do they stay on?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieAnneLevine Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wow, I thought for sure your post was going to say, "Now that I have your attention" lol. I didn't expect there were really chickens wearing diapers. :001_huh: Chicken Diapers sounds like something that would be on an iCarly t-shirt.

Hoot Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Bahahahaha! I've actually heard of these before. Why? Because the lady I buy my rabbit diapers from also sells them. :tongue_smilie: Some people keep house chickens and... well... they can't really be litter trained so... diapers. I use a diaper for my rabbit when she's free-roaming through the house just so she doesn't leave little rabbit raisins everywhere. Okay, go ahead and laugh. I can take it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celticmom Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My chickens are free-range and I am reasonably certain that they would not cooperate with being diapered. In fact if I tried I would probably never catch them again. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I just saw a clip on the news about people with chickens as pets.....they were showing a chicken in a $13 diaper!!! Really??? Well, I had to do this over the winter. Did I WANT to? No. But I am an animal lover who had to console a hysterical kid. So I nursed that darned chicken back to health. I had NO IDEA that I would have to syringe feed her for FOUR mo ths. Then it was the dead of winter and too cold to go from a heated house to the barn. So she stayed in a small cage and I made her a diaper to allow her some exercise, without mess, a few times per day. I watched a YOutube video and made the diaper for next to nothing. Apparently, they also wear sweaters. :lol: Ok. Here's the thing. I got adorable frizzle chickens NOT KNOWING THEY CAN'T TOLERATE THE COLD WINTERS. I got them at a NH chicken swap. I had them in my baaement last winter with a heat lamp but this year I am hoping to make SOMETHING to keep them warm enough so I don't have to bring them inside. Honestly I wish the frizzles could be shipped to a home in a warmer climate. I am not cold hearted enough to let the freeze and die, but I really don't want them even though the are sweet. So, I guess I am an embarrassment to Americans as was stated in another thread. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she comes in though, she wants to mark her territory with the little pellets. :glare: The very first time I put the diaper on her I came away with some fun scratches. She had this very OH HELLZ NO attitude about her. Ever since then though, she's been totally fine with it. I sort of put her in a football hold, poke her tail through the hole and strap it on. It takes all of about a minute. She also has a harness and leash so she can get outside. Good grief, why am I volunteering this information. :leaving: On the other hand, I do not get the fetish with dressing up dogs and cats into cutesy outfits. That makes no sense whatsoever to me.

BatmansWife Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) My youngest dd got such a kick out of this that we went to youtube and typed in chicken diapers. I'll have to admit that the ones on youtube are much better looking than the ones at chickendiapers.com. The ones at chickendiapers look like some poop sack hanging there. I could understand it a little better after watching youtube. Funny that some of the poor chickens fall over after there's are on. One little guy, Philip, even wore little baby socks (although that was because of feet problems). The lady on youtube who shows you how to make them (Philip's "mom") puts cut up pantyliners and/or papertowels as liners inside the diapers. Still.....I can't imagine having to take the pads out or wash the diapers. :tongue_smilie: Oh, and I learned something else new watching those videos.....that the..um, well, the part the chicken diaper covers that, um...releases the poopoo...is called a vent. :lol: I'm not sure why that cracked me up....but it did. :blush: Edited August 7, 2012 by ~AprilMay~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
