"Sometimes beauty is pain, honey." I LOLed!
That's funny how curious they are coming over to check it out.
Cracked me up when the other ladies were doing their "inspections" lol!
You are a wonderful person
God bless you
Love it. You know they were all telling you what color they wanted. Style to a chick is very important. I have a friend that had me crochet hats for her hens, for portraits. Was so cute.
Yes... girls have to coordinate. ;-) lol
Absolutely awesome! A backwards apron for a hen. Thank you for the explanation of why the girls need them. ❤️🩹😃
I might need some of those..We have one rooster and 15 hens and a couple he does prefer. They are all under a year old...And we almost got rid of Rudy our Rooster this last week, because he came at one of our grandkids and pecked in twice in the legs and bruised (2) grandkids pretty bad. But we want to give him another chance We hate to lose him, but surely do not want our grandkids hurt...Thank you soooo much. I love love love your videos. YOu inspire me
I have a Black Australorp named Bettie that all of our roosters seem to love (She IS gorgeous), she gets way more attention than she would probably like. She gets to pick her own hen saddle first because of that. She gets to keep her beautiful feathers intact due to this wonderful creation. I love Louise! We buy in bulk.
Your chickens got new coats, and YOU got a new subscriber! You're adorable! :D
that was the funniest thing i've ever seen! i guess its a necessity tho, so yeah i get it. i think they look more like capes. you need wonder woman, bat girl, super girl. lol that would be adorable. thanks for sharing that was a hoot.
Great idea, but too funny!! That little girl is scolding you!
How refreshing to see someone that is so thoughtful and kind to all animals!
I've heard one draw back to the saddles is that the hen can't dust bathe that area. I wonder if applying some DE to the saddle would prevent any mites from finding a home under there?
This has to be one of the funniest videos you have made. Watching the other hens was hysterical. Thanks for our morning laugh.
Love the saddle material, and thanks for doing the video! I think it might be easier on both you and the hen if you pull the straps over the wings in the same direction that the feathers lay.. it's may make the hens resist a little less. Also, check out the design where you can apply a snap to the underside of the saddle that lays under the wings and then just snap the elastic on bypassing threading the wings altogether. Luv ya!
Frisky chickens! This city gal enjoyed the journey, humor, and your struggles! :)
Thank you Patara, I've been regularly enjoying your videos for a couple of years now. I have a wounded hen that is healing wonderfully but needs an apron before I let her back with the flock out of the dog kennel. Glad your older videos are still available ☺️👍
That was so funny, I got such a kick out of all the ladies gathering around to watch the poor victims! I've never heard of these but I think it's a good idea if it saves their poor backs. Thanks for sharing.
I can't get over how the hens were so curios lolll a cute video loll good job!
You are wonderful! I always love watching your videos, they just make my day!
I'd recommend putting the hens head in either your armpit or draped by a cloth, as covering their eyes makes them calmer.
If you put the chicken's head under its wing it will calm down and even go to sleep.
What a way to start the day! I love this video ..You are such a caring person and what patience . Blessing's , Linda
Thank you so much. I was doing it wrong this whole time!!! 👍🏻
I just got chickens this year and you’ve taught me so much thanks for the help and keep making more vids !!!!
I love your hen videos, make me miss my pet chicken! Thank you for the videos of a better life out there someone's livin'! Wish I were!
One of my hens was acting the same way when I put one on her and my rooster was doing the same thing! Lol! Thanks for the video! Always like to see other people who care about chickens like I do.
Hen saddles and crop bras, beautiful inventions! Love your videos. :-)
Am laughing so hard watching the chickens behind you as you are talking about sexually robust roosters. How have chicken folks lived without hen saddles all these centuries (laughing so hard) And yes, I did give a thumbs up simply because I adore you woman!!
lol.... seriously! ;-)
Patara, this is hilarious it made my day.
I now that there is a volunteer organization that makes knitted sweaters for chickens they are also for protection and if they for whatever reason lose feathers . It’s a great idea and they look like real cool chickens 😘
had never heard of these. When we replenish our hens (had coyote issues) I may have to invest in these. Thanks for sharing.
You're so funny. I love your videos
LOL! Thanks! ;-)
Giggling watching you saddle opal even knowing I have to do this bella tomorrow and it's going to be a gong show she's such a drama mama to begin with
you have a new sub! you videos are just as awesome as you are! thanks for taking the time to post! :)
thinking about puting this on my girls just for the cuteness
flock security I was thinking the same for when I get my flock...what a sweet way to tell em apart too
Wow I never knew about hen saddles before. Thank you for showing us. They're real pretty too :)
Those are so cute! I’ve never heard of those, so glad they have some protection, Spurs sound painful!
lol! Your audience. So curious. Love it.
That is the craziest thing I've ever seen and I know what would be happening to the roosters !! haha
Well. Hen saddles are actually good just to overall help the hens also if you are having issues in pecking order as well. It protects them. ;-) A bloody hen left to her own defenses can quickly become a dead one.... so healing her is key. ;-)
i lost my favorite pet chicken due to rough riding. if only she had one of these. you should go on Shark Tank.
The other hens look so jealous of the first hen that you put the saddle on. Funny! It doesnt look like an easy task either.
Watching you put the girls "comfort coats" on was the highlight of my evening! Great idea! Otto on "Alaska, the Last Frontier" made a bra for his cow who had a sore tit. What ever is needed is great! I do know lady chickens went years without this fashion but then there was a time we ladies delivered children in caves...glad we have modern conveniences. Your California Friend, Marisa
Every girl should be comfy and beautiful. Thank you for watching! xoxo
I put snaps on mine on each end and it makes it easier to get it on. Just the larger flat snaps. Might ask her to do that and you don't have to do the getting it around the wings since it's a loose.
Well done!
My fun video for tonight 😉
I have had a few chickens in the past get a bear spot on the lower part of there back with no rooster the other hens peck at them till they bleed I then have to treat them I think these may help them till the feathers grow back what do you think also do the red color ones make the birds peck at them more
Just watched Homesteading off the Grid! Kevin and Dearly about their Chickens
I've learned to stay away from ones with pink or red in them because it could attract more pecking.
Becci Dougherty Maybe... but it doesn't stop the roosters in keeping up with their favorite hens. I have found that out. ;-)
Watching September 2018
I'm wondering if the roosters still find the hens attractive when they are wearing the saddle, or if it works because is makes them look less tempting?
We have been watching and the behavior is the same so far. It is just protecting the girls more. We are very happy with our hen saddles so far! Thanks for watching. ;-)
It must be something about buff hens! Blondes have more fun! My buff hen needs a saddle too.
lol ;) good job. They really should put snaps on those instead...make it so much more easier to put on.
Are there any Roosters that are more gentle with with the Hens? If so they should be studded for selective breeding, to breed more Roosters that'll be good with Hens.
TheGreatJunkHeapFlower i believe its based on the roosters personality. I also believe that friendly roosters are more calm and gentle. I have a silkie roo that is super sweet and my hens adore him.
maybe the clever lady who makes these could come up with a velcro version that would be easier to get on ?
Do you clip the spurs on your rooster?
Do the hens still get fertile or does it prevent that too?
How did they work for you? Think this would help with winter cold up here in the north?
Where did you get those ones? Cute
It's have for to get one on my little old English game bantam
Your's look different at the bottom than the ones she has for sale now...Did you special order? Thank you
Put steps overtop of wing.
Okay, I'll give it a try but if someone walks in on me trying to put those things one, I'm going to just drop my head and direct them straight to this video.
When I was a little girl, we would put doll clothes on the kittens. Makes me think of that.
I never work on my chickens in front of the others, I always remove them, do what I have to do then return them to pen. I feel like it embarasses the chicken in front of the others. Also your husband is one lucky man :)
Thank you for the video…glad I made mine with Velcro on the ends of the elastic now that I’ve watched this. Question…I read somewhere that we should not use red or dark pink because it makes them a target. Did you have any issues with the red bandana? It is so stinking cute that I would love to use red!
Cute! I made bird shirts with leashes for my cockatiels first. Should have patented it. LOL!!! Who would have thought the whole World would love the idea. Funny huh?
My design was something else.
Never heard of this hope it solves the problem for you.
Blessings...
We need to do this now my daughter and I it looks hard to do. Can we just remove the rooster from coop?? We only have 1 rooster and 3 hens. Let me know if you can
you got this! lol
also where did you get them thanks
sshorn1 At Louisescountrycloset.com Thank you for watching!
coooooooooooooooooooool
How many roosters would you recommend per hen to have the least amount of wear and tear, but still maintaining a good amount of fertility in the eggs? Thanks for the hen saddle recommendation, some of my hens need them! xD
Your chickens look fine. Mine are totally BALD. But my kid wont let me eat the roosters.
i have a question asked you before about if you have goat milk etc you said you didn;t because you favor cow milk. well i have not ever had goat cheese raw or the milk , it has always been pasturized and it has always tasted like goat in some way and i find it not very good. i have ahad raw cow milk and it was great.
so i am asking does goats that arent with the bucks milk taste non goaty in the raw taste .
You will want to keep the buck separate because he will affect the flavor of the milk. Raw goat milk is better than anything at the store but like you, I do favor raw cow milk more. It is sweeter to me.
ok thanks , i found a lady that has some local and she said she keep the bucks sep and everything so i am going to try it, i hope i like it a goat is far cheaper to maintain and purchase than a cow
ROFL.... put the roosters in the pot but keep the fashion wear for the hens....to cute!
Just front he experience of trying to fit babies while wiggling you may want to slide the elastic over the shoulder in the direction of the feathers and pull down. There should be enough elastic to do it if I'm seeing it right. Fitting teenage girls is actually worse. They bi#ch and complain the whole time. For some reason they don't like homemade clothes even when your mom is a custom seamstress and, it looks the same or better than the store....but longer. Denim panties have no place in my house.
Looks pretty much like it be a heck of a lot easier if ya had another person to help.. Welp wish me luck cuz I got 8 girls to cover..
looks like a two person job
WHATTTTTT 30 times a day we humans don't even get that much not even 2 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I bet'cha that I'm not the only woman among your subscribers who took a big, audible intake of air & whose jaw dropped wide open when you said your most 'popular girls' might have to give up the goods up to 30 times (ish) ( plus or minus / give or take a little, &/or here or there; suddenly seem a bit dirty when applied to the subject in hand! See what I mean? Everything's coming out filthy. 😂Rofl. Well Done on loving your birds enough to keep them protected. Nope. it's no good have to go lie down in a dark room to re-write this in ye olde english. it's my only hope.
