Something went wrong......
TOO CUTE!! How long did it take for the dye to wear off?
I wonder if they were looking at each other and thinking, "What the hecks wrong with YOU???" ROTFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want a chicken just so I can color it!!! Watch out dogs!! LOL!!
It will be a year Aug 31, and ours is still pink, the hens love him!!!!!
WOW!! I figured it would fade in a few months! Wow!
Nicole
good grief Sherry are you keeping him dyed or is this still round one?? and was it permant?? wow
I cannot remember what kind of dye we used, except that it was not harmful to humans or animals. I know it wasn't harmful to humans because we got it all over us and I wasn't even on the team. We did three chickens, I think, and the dye is still on all three, two live elsewhere. Mop Head is know as 'the pink rooster'.
lllllmmmmmbbbbooooo @ this thread. You guys are killin' me. I haven't laughed so hard over "left hand smokin', mushroom eatin', tie-dyed chickens in my life!
Thanks for the laugh!

I emailed your photo to hubby and asked if I could have some like this. He came back with: "You want GLAM ROCK chickens?!" LOL
Actually,mine went thru a molt and dropped all the colored feathers.......
Mop didn't molt, he still has his color and he is definitely pink...
Hmmmmm
he will probably soon......
CC, I don't know why, but our chickens, Bantams, Sultan, have never molted, we've had most all for almost two years...except several almost 1 year hens that are from our own stock...
never heard of that
My canary, cockatiel molted, but not the chickens - would we notice a big difference??? Might the weather be why they don't molt??
a change of light or a change of feed can send mine into a moult
usually when I DON"T want it
but most moult once a year at least
Hahahaha, ours get a daily change of feed, we feed them scraps and we eat lots of veggies, salad, peelings of all kinds, they love the stuff - but I also feed them chicken feed, which they love too...
I'm talking about the chicken feed
If you go from one brand to another without a gradual change
or say pellets to straight corn it can send them into a moult
I mix 3 different feeds just so if I can't get one they are use to the others
We mix our feed too, and we use three feeds too...looks like I accidentally did it right, lol...
The 60's & 70's were really good (for some chickens anyways).
Aren"t these hysterical?
The funny part is that the State Fair asked me to do it again this year
OY MY GOD! I dont know if I can handle this...seriously...I think my weekend just officially began! I have never seen anything like that. I guess I did see a blue poodle at the McDonalds drive through in Des Moines once...but never a chicken! That is awesome!
ok, where did you get the tie dye kit? I HAVE to do this to my white silkies next year! When you have time can you send me a quick note on what to do (and I promise to stay away from NY with them!)
Craft store for the tyedye kit......
wash them and spray on wet feathers so the colors bleed
use comon sense -don't spray their face and try to just keep it on the feathers
Thanks! I have never tied dyed anything. Maybe I will practice on the cat! LoL And I will be very careful when I do it.
What will the cat think about getting wet?, Please be careful.
That was a joke. My cats are too refined to even think about being tye-dyed.
Bwahaaaahaaaaaaa!!! I think I hear some Grateful Dead playing in the background; )
