Silkie Sue is doing some cooking

Silkie Sue is the smallest of our birds as a silkie-mix hen.  She lays small green eggs.

Clyde either really likes her or he's just too darn heavy and rough for her because she's lost all of the feathers off her back.

So I had to order a "chicken apron".

This will protect her back and so far she's okay with it.  I brought her in the house to put it on and Faith was nose to feathers sniffing her before I even realized what she was doing.  She was good and gentle but I still put her in another room while we got the apron on.

I took pictures of this feat, but of course my phone didn't save them.  So I had to run outside to get a picture of her with her apron on...
