can you disarm a rooster?

[FedUpWithIt All]

12. Mine were totally fine with them

And they stayed on for months (we would take them off on occasion to let their skin breathe and clean them. Of course i could only speak to the fleece, three hole ones.

Several of the other kinds have straps with snaps and no tail attachment which honestly looked uncomfortable to me. The fleece sort of loosens around their wings as they move but it looked like the straps of the other types would not do that. The other concern i had was that the lack of a tail strap would cause the apron/saddle to move around too much on the backs putting more stress on their wings.

The ones we made did not move around at all but the material was flexible enough that the bird could slip out of it if the material were grabbed and held by something or someone. The birds wearing, and the birds interacting with them, paid the bright material no mind.


When are you planning to start breeding? I was looking at incubator plans myself last night. We are birdless at the moment and are getting ready for spring.

Edited to add...most of the feather will NOT grow back until the bird goes into a natural molt and drops the feather quills. Our own birds were bare for quite a long time.
