It's been about 2 1/2 weeks since Ethel donned her party dress and stepped out of the coop with her
BALD.
RED.
...and had a scab that was healing.
Not pretty.
I wanted to show you ...I'm NOT crazy!
This Chicken Saddle is actually what it's called, has helped her to begin healing and begin growing new feathers.
She also getting a little bit easier to handle each time I pick her up for inspection.
This is her back now.
Not much redness and there are signs of new feathers. (which looks painful enough if you ask me)
These are the flight feathers coming in; and you can see still a little redness there...but new growth!
She likes her new dress. She wears it to all her Hen parties...

I know nothing about chickens - absolutely nothing - well I know they lay eggs but that's about it LOL
But how amazing ( I'm the one that had to ask you about the apron when you first posted it ) that's she's healing by you doing that!
Quite fascinating really !!!
XOXO
She looks pretty good in her dress! Glad to see it's helping...
I've had to put saddles on a few of my hens as well since the rooster is pretty rough with them. They are working out great, and I'm glad Ethel's saddle is working for her as well!
Half my girls need these, I'm glad it's not winter or they would be so cold! Now that we're down to only 1 rooster and adding hens, it should get better.
Good for you/her. I am so glad that the saddle is working and she is healing! God bless your chicky! xo Diana
Excellent! She is looking much better!
Yay for Ethel and Yay for you! :)
ditto what Revi says!
I was going to say Yay for Ethel, and looked up and saw that she said the exact same thing. :)
who knew? not me!
so interesting!
