Unpopular opinion: I thought chicken diapers were a total joke until my hen got bumblefoot

My vet in Austin said to keep her inside for a week, and that diaper saved my couch from a real mess. Anyone else have a weird chicken product that actually came in clutch?

Actually it's a good idea to keep a chicken with bumblefoot separate from the flock, but inside on a couch isn't ideal. They really need a clean, dry pen with soft bedding to heal properly. The diaper helps with the mess, but the setup matters more for recovery.

Ugh, people always miss the point like that.

Appreciate you explaining this, honestly I always thought keeping them indoors on something soft was fine but you got me rethinking that setup for sure.
