Putting on a chicken diaper is like diapering a child, but chickens don’t have an open belly. Follow these steps:
- Step 1: Make the diaper flap go between the legs over the chest.
- Step 2: Pull up the straps over the wings like suspenders clasping over their back onto the diaper.
- Chicken diapers allow chickens to roam indoors without leaving droppings.
- They are essential for indoor pets as chickens are harder to train than dogs.
- The diapers catch fecal material, making them easy to clean and maintain.
- Change the diaper every 3-4 hours to prevent moisture buildup.
- Use unscented baby wipes for cleaning before and after diapering.
- Ensure your bird stays clean and dry for optimal health.
- Begin potty training by timing a chicken’s defecations and rewarding with a treat.
- Teach young chickens to defecate in an assigned spot by issuing commands and rewards.
- In emergencies, a disposable mask can be used as a chicken diaper without alterations.
- Secure the mask by wrapping straps around the wings and placing the mask over the bird’s back.
- Step 1: Fit the chicken’s legs through the diaper holes.
- Step 2: Tighten the threads or tie a bow to secure the diaper.
- Step 3: To remove, untie the bow and let the diaper fall off.
