Hi Judy. I think you’d have a lot more trouble getting your hen’s wings through elastic openings if you don’t use snaps. The snaps make it really easy for me to put the saddles on my girls.

Thanks for the needed help! I’m new to chickens and this problem looks terrible! I can’t wait to get sewing! Question: Why do you not just sew the elastic in the fabric and not use snaps?

Thanks for all this great info. I was horrified when I came home from the beach only to find several of my chickens bare backed!!!!!!! I made all 6 of them a saddle with your help. I did need to make a smaller version though, which I found the sizes on another website. Thanks again, I hope they start getting feathers quickly!

Hi,
I love the slippers. Especially the red ones. Did you use a pattern? If so, May I ask you where and what it is? I would love to knit up a few pairs.
Thanks
Donna
