Today I removed the hen saddle from Dolly. Just as expected, it took three weeks for her wound to heal and new feathers to return. Her feathers have grown back beautifully. Truthfully, I was a bit sad to remove the hen saddle from her. When it was on, she didn’t seem to mind it and she just looked so darn cute. My kids loved the fact that she was wearing an outfit just her size!
Just as I was finishing taking photos of Dolly for this post, in came my camera hog, Oyster Cracker. Dolly and Autumn continued to have a mid-morning snack while Oyster Cracker wanted love. Soon enough, she hopped out the coop door into my lap. Dolly and Autumn left the coop and settled in to take a nice dirt bath. It is so nice to have our Dolly happy, healthy and feeling good again. It was also nice to get a bit of love from my snuggle chicken. What a wonderful way to start the weekend.

So happy that Dolly is all better. Those hen saddles are cute, though 🙂
So glad she is better. She did look cute in the saddle.
Good for Dolly!! There is a blog that I was visiting the other day that sells chicken saddles and boy were they ever adorable.
How neat! I have been thinking about your lemon brownies all week! I think I need to be making up a batch real soon 🙂
