Overview
Chicken Saddle with Camouflage Pattern 19 x 19 cm Oxford Back Apron with Black Trim and Snaps Feather Protection During Mating

The chicken saddle is a practical protective apron that fits over the back of hens, safeguarding their feathers and skin during mating. It is made from sturdy oxford fabric, which is durable yet breathable, allowing the hen to move freely in the run. The saddle measures 19 x 19 cm and covers the upper part of the back, where the rooster most commonly steps during mating, and where claws and beaks can damage feathers. The outer edge and inner lining are trimmed with black tape, which maintains the shape of the saddle and protects the fabric edges. The surface features a camouflage pattern in shades of green, brown, and beige, which does not appear conspicuous on the animal.

The saddle is secured on the hen using two loops that the wings pass through, and the upper flap is secured with two snaps. This allows for quick fitting and removal, and the saddle stays in place on the back. It is especially suitable for hens with worn feathers or abrasions on their backs, as the covered area is protected and feathers can gradually regrow. The apron is suitable for smaller and medium-sized hens and can also be used for ducks, geese, and other poultry. The lightweight and adjustable design conforms to the animal's body and remains in place during normal movement.

Before the first fitting, unfold the saddle, pass the hen's wings through the loops, and fasten the flap on the back with the snaps. Ensure that the saddle lies flat and that the loops do not constrict the hen under the wings. It is advisable to regularly check the saddle and remove it if it becomes dirty, to keep the skin underneath dry and clean. If you have multiple hens with damaged feathers in the flock, it is advisable to get a saddle for each of them.

The camouflage-patterned chicken saddle is a simple tool for any breeder who wants to protect the backs of their hens from injury during mating. The sturdy oxford fabric with black trim retains its shape and is durable even with daily wear in the run. The size of 19 x 19 cm fits smaller and medium-sized hens, and thanks to the loops and snaps, the saddle can be fitted quickly and effortlessly. Damaged feathers underneath can gradually regrow, as the rooster no longer directly damages them during mating. The apron is intended for hens, ducks, and geese and is suitable for home breeding as well as for smaller farms.
