Overview
Chicken Apron with Lace Ruffle 23 x 22 cm Cotton Saddle for Feather Protection Elastic Straps Back Protector for Hens

The chicken apron is a practical assistant for any poultry keeper who wants to protect the backs of their hens. The saddle, measuring 23 x 22 cm, covers the hen's back and protects feathers from being scratched by the rooster's claws during mating and from pecking by other hens. It is made from cotton fabric, which is pleasant to the touch and does not restrict the hen's movement while foraging in the run. The back protector is suitable for home keeping in the garden as well as for smaller farms. It helps create suitable conditions for the regrowth of new feathers in areas where the back is plucked or irritated.

The saddle is secured with two straps that simply slip over the wings. They are elastic straps with sufficient stretch, so they do not need to be tightened into a small ring, allowing the apron to be put on quickly and without unnecessary stress for the animal. The lower edge is adorned with a pleated ruffle complemented by a lace trim, giving the apron a neat and decorative appearance on the hen. Carefully stitched edges maintain their shape even with daily wear. The cut is designed for most hens of standard size, and the apron follows the shape of the back from the neck to the base of the tail.

After use, simply wash the apron and store it; when needed again, you can put it back on the hen. Before the first fitting, we recommend allowing the hen to explore the apron for a while and slipping the straps on one at a time. Regularly check that the apron fits correctly and that the straps do not pinch the hen anywhere, and wash the soiled fabric to keep it clean and pleasant to wear. The apron is particularly suitable for hens that already have plucked backs, and it can be left on them until the feathers regrow.

The fabric saddle for hens is a simple way to protect the backs of laying hens in a flock with a rooster or where hens peck each other. The apron with a lace ruffle is lightweight, easy to put on, and allows the hen freedom of movement while scratching and resting. Thanks to its washable feature, it is suitable for repeated use throughout the entire season. It will be appreciated by keepers who want to support feather regrowth while providing comfort for their hens. It also makes a practical gift for anyone who keeps poultry in the garden or on a farm.
