NH Farmer Creates Diapers, Fashions For Chickens

CLAREMONT, N.H. (CBS) -- A New Hampshire farmer who considers her chickens part of the family has come up with a way to pamper her poultry.

Julie Baker is behind the e-commerce site "Pampered Poultry," a site that sells chicken diapers and saddles to protect against the "not so gentle gentleman roosters."

In addition to the "practical," Baker also sells clothing for poultry -- brightly colored dresses with bows, tailcoats and even a diaper with a bow tie attached.

The diapers come in a variety of sizes and Baker says they allow chicken-owners to bring their pets inside the home without the mess.

The diapers, much like a harness, slip over the back of the chicken and are secured with a snap.

"When my daughter and I set out to design and sell chicken diapers, it was born not so much out of a need to literally pamper our poultry, but rather to share in the growing movement to bring chickens from an agriculture sphere and into the suburban/urban realm. We wanted to be part of the "Backyard Chicken" movement," Baker writes in her blog, Farm Dreamer.

Baker's fashions range in price from around $10 to $21 depending on size.
