Overview
Back Apron for Hens 23 x 22 cm Saddle with Checked Ruffle and Lace Trim Elastic Straps Hen Feather Protector

The back apron for hens is a simple tool for keepers who want to protect the feathers of their hens. The saddle measuring 23 x 22 cm covers the hen's back and helps protect the feathers on the back from damage, which mainly occurs during mating with the rooster. It is held in place by two elastic loops that slip over the wings and adjust to the hen's body. The apron is put on without buckles or additional tools, making it easy for even novice keepers to use. It is suitable for hens in small home flocks in the garden as well as in larger groups on a farm.

The bottom edge of the apron is trimmed with a checked ruffle with lace, which gives the saddle a playful appearance and covers part of the hen's rear. The edges of the apron are finished with binding, ensuring that the shape of the saddle remains neat. The cheerful print across the entire surface makes it easier to distinguish individual hens in the run, which is helpful for keepers monitoring the laying or health of specific hens. The apron is also useful for hens that have already had their backs plucked and need peace for their new feathers to grow back.

Putting on the apron is quick. Gently hold the hen, place the saddle on her back so that the ruffle points towards the tail, and gradually slip the elastic loops over both wings. Then check that the apron sits straight in the middle of the back and that the loops are not twisted. The hen can still move freely in the saddle, scratch, and stretch her wings. It is advisable to check the apron regularly, and if it gets dirty, remove it and clean it. If you do not need it at the moment, simply fold it up and store it in a dry place until it is needed again.

The saddle for hens with a ruffle offers practical protection for the back combined with a cheerful appearance. With a size of 23 x 22 cm, it covers the back of a typical layer without restricting her movement. The elastic loops keep the apron in place even while scratching and running around the run. The apron is a suitable accessory for any flock where hens are kept together with a rooster. The checked ruffle with lace and the striking print also enhance the appearance of the entire flock and facilitate the distinction of hens at first glance.
