Overview
Chicken Saddle with Print and Checked Ruffle 22 x 24 cm Fabric Back Apron with Elastic Straps for Feather Protection

The fabric chicken saddle is a practical aid for every keeper who wants to protect the feathers of their hens. The apron measuring 22 x 24 cm covers the back of the hen and helps protect the feathers from damage during mating and from pecking by other hens. It stays in place on the body thanks to two straps that easily slip around the wings. They are elastic straps, so they adapt to small, medium, and larger hens, allowing them plenty of room to move. The saddle is lightweight, and hens usually get used to it quickly.

The lower edge of the apron is adorned with a checked ruffle with a lace trim, which gives the saddle a playful appearance while also covering part of the hen's rear. The cheerful print across the entire surface of the apron makes it easier to distinguish individual hens in the flock, which is especially appreciated by keepers who keep track of laying or the health of their hens. The apron also helps where hens have plucked backs and new feathers need peace to grow properly. The saddle covers the back and shoulders and protects the hen from the sun or rain when moving in the outdoor run.

Fitting the saddle is easy. Simply hold the hen gently, place the apron on its back so that the ruffle faces the tail, and slip the straps over the wings. After fitting, it is advisable to check that the straps are not constricting anywhere and that the hen can move freely, scratch, and spread its wings. It is good to regularly check the apron and wash it as needed to keep it clean and comfortable for the hens. After washing, let it air dry, and then you can put it back on or fold it away for future use.

The saddle for hens with a ruffle is a simple and gentle solution for keepers who want to protect the backs of their layers and support feather regrowth. The apron is washable and therefore can be reused throughout the season. The elastic straps keep the saddle reliably in place while not restricting the hen's normal movement. It is suitable for small home keeping in the garden as well as for larger flocks on farms. Thanks to the print across the entire surface, the saddle also gives your hens a cheerful and unique appearance in the run.
