I Need Chicken Chastity Belts

OHMYGOSH, you guys. My roosters are terrorizing the hens. I was in denial before that it was going to happen, but we went over to the chickens yesterday and Carrot Top had Miss America pinned down and was on top of her, having his way with her. Matrix came FLYING over the trampoline and got him off of her.



And look at her back. The two of them are already ripping all her feathers out of her back.

And Sarah was all, "Mommy?! What is he doing???!"

And I'm like, "OHMYGOSH. GET OFF OF HER!"




They're tearing out all the feathers on my Barred Rock too.



And this poor girl is bald now.

Remember Bareback? She never got her feathers back at all. She's still bald.

Bob loves the roosters. But inclined to say it's time for them to die immediately. I am not keen on feeding something that isn't producing eggs anyway, and it's not like we live somewhere where we need a rooster to chase off predators.

Plus, do you think the hens LIKE that? I know they are just chickens, but imagine you are just walking around in your house and several times a day, men throw you on the ground, pull your hair out, and rape you. Would that be enjoyable?

And now I'm going to have ugly featherless chickens.



Does anyone know how to knit? I'm going to need some chicken sweaters this winter.

Remember the women that sold chicken diapers? They also sell chicken saddles.



They go over the hens back and keep the roosters from ripping the feathers out.

I wonder if they make chastity belts? That's what I NEED.

  1. HAHA! I am wondering how you kill and eat these chickens that you have such great empathy for when the roosters rapes them. The thought has crossed my mind of getting chickens but I think I would make them pets and not be able to bear having them killed.

    Those roosters WILL start attacking you and the kids, count on it. They are the most territorial little beasts in the world and they can really hurt you with their spurs. Where's Jerry's Nebraska GF when you need her? Have him make an emergency call so she will come and dispatch those guys! I'd like the next photo of them to be on a platter!

  3. Oh my crap I am laughing so hard at the pictures! Clothing for chickens. SADDLES for chickens. LOL

    I actually DO know how to sew, but I don't think Simplicity has a Barnyard line of patterns... :P

  4. Wow, that's crazy. I'm seeing you get more and more attached to these "Gals" and wondering how you are ever going to eat them when they stop producing eggs!? As for the roosters, yum yum! Have you thought about calling crazy chicken lady, or the farm guy and seeing if they want the roosters? Also, my neighbor said the TOM (male) turkey will be bigger and juicier than the female...I can't wait to hear!

    Well, you are now getting fertile eggs, which are supposed to be more nutritious, right? Tough on the hens, though.
