I have a harness, but was worried about putting it in. It was good to see the pictures, because all those straps look intimidating, and who wants to scare their chicken while they try to get it all straight? I will try it out this summer, on my BO, who is calm like Kiwi!
Nicely done! Good pictures and text. A great job on getting the photo angles right showing what you're explaining. The first picture shows all the parts of the entire harness really well, so it is easy to place what one is looking at in the the later photos. Thank you for writing it!
Great demo - both the pictures and the text. On a side note, you can make your own out of a head harness used to restrain dogs that pull. Gentle Leader makes one, but it's pretty pricey. I got a knock off on eBay for $1.99, USD. The key is to snip the threads that hold the muzzle piece together - so that the piece around your chicken's neck moves freely. Then you turn the harness upside down, open up the other loop and pass it under the bird's wings, like in this article. Works like a charm for two bucks and free shipping ... and my roosters go everywhere - to school, to TSC, to the dreaded vet. It's fun!
