I didn't know anyone sold diapers for chickens.

This link includes a video on how to make chicken diapers at home.

Chicken diapers, interesting, and a bit overpriced it seems. I guess it's useful if someone wants there chicken to roam in their home. Seems you can also make a harness out of the diaper.

The evil chicken ("pollo maligno")
is an evil spirit of the forest
in the form of a bird that haunts the hunters,
attracting them to the deepest forest
in order to devour them.

I had 6 white Chinese Silkies and 1 black Astrolorp as my house pets in the early 2000,s. Indoors. They were so affectionate and they ARE intelligent! They also loved classical music but hated punk. I took them to the beach, and the sidewalk cafes. They lov d to snuggle in bed with me. I got evicted for having them. The astrolorp was a 24/7 crowder and made one great watch dog. I could never eat my pets. I rarely eat chicken now.

Not long ago I saw a "chicken shaming" video. I'm familiar dog and cat "shaming", which are comical pics of the animals who have just done something really naughty, and there is a note written by their owner telling the world what they did, usually written from the pet's perspective. But I'd never seen one of chickens before. It was pretty funny, although a lot of the owners' complaints were that their hens won't lay eggs and it's because they're just lazy, but I think the hens may be just too old to make eggs.
