Overview
Chicken Saddle with Adjustable Strap Width 25.4 cm Breathable Washable Back Apron for Feather Protection of Poultry

The chicken saddle is a practical back apron that helps protect the feathers of laying hens in everyday farming. It covers the back and shoulders of the hen and prevents them from pecking each other's feathers or being damaged by the rooster during mating. The saddle has a width of 25.4 cm and is made as a single universal size, making it suitable for hens of various breeds and sizes. A neck adjustable strap along with two straps that go under the wings ensures a secure fit. The apron is lightweight and does not burden the hen during normal movement in the run or coop.

The saddle is made from breathable fabric that allows air to pass through, so the hen does not overheat underneath it, even on warmer days. The outer side features a feather pattern print, making the saddle look natural on the hen and allowing you to easily distinguish individual hens in the flock. The edges are bound, and the neck opening is large enough not to cause discomfort. Damaged or pecked feathers can grow back peacefully under the saddle, as the covered back is no longer visible to other hens. The saddle is especially appreciated for hens with bare spots on their backs and in flocks with a rooster.

Fitting is simple. Pass the hen's head through the neck opening, place the saddle on the back, guide the straps under the wings, and adjust the neck strap length so that the saddle holds well and does not choke the hen. The saddle is best fitted in the evening when the hens are calmer and adjust to it more quickly. When the saddle gets dirty during use in the run, simply wash it with water and let it dry, then it is ready for use again. You can use the saddle repeatedly throughout the time the feathers on the back are growing back.

The chicken saddle is a simple and affordable tool for any smallholder who wants to protect the feathers of their laying hens. It is washable, lightweight, and thanks to the straps, it stays securely on the hen's back even while scratching and moving around the run. The universal size with a width of 25.4 cm is suitable for most hens in domestic farming. It helps protect the back from pecking by other hens and from damage by the rooster. It is suitable for home farming in the garden as well as for smaller farms.
