Overview
Chicken Saddle with Ruffled Trim 21.5 x 22.5 cm Soft Fabric Back Apron Elastic Straps Hen Feather Protection

The chicken saddle is a simple tool for breeders who want to protect the backs of their hens. The fabric apron measuring 21.5 x 22.5 cm is placed on the hen's back and covers the areas where feathers are most often damaged. The rooster holds the hen with his claws and beak right on the back during mating, and the apron creates a protective layer of fabric between them. The saddle is secured with two elastic straps that loop around the wings. The hen can then continue to walk in the run, scratch, and peck as usual.

The lower edge of the apron is trimmed with a ruffled checkered frill with a delicate lace that also covers part of the sides and tail area. The apron also helps hens that have had their back feathers pecked by other members of the flock. The covered areas are no longer as noticeable, other hens will stop pecking at them, and new feathers have time to grow back in peace. The fabric of the apron has a cheerful pattern throughout, making it easy to distinguish individual hens in the flock at first glance. This is especially appreciated by breeders who keep track of laying, which hen is currently being treated, or which hens need special care.

Putting it on is quick and easy. Gently hold the hen in your arms, place the apron on her back so that the frill faces the tail, and gradually loop the straps over both wings. Then check that the straps are not pinching anywhere, do not dig into the feathers, and that the hen can freely extend her wings. During the first few days, it is good to observe the hen occasionally until she gets used to the saddle. Regularly check the apron, and if it gets dirty, clean it to keep it comfortable for the hen. If you do not need the apron at the moment, simply remove it, fold it, and store it in a dry place until its next use.

The fabric saddle for chickens with a frill is a practical addition to any coop where a rooster lives with a flock of hens. The soft fabric apron covers the hen's back and helps protect the feathers that are regenerating after pecking or mating. It is securely held in place by elastic straps looped around the wings. It is suitable for small domestic breeding in the garden as well as for larger flocks on a farm. The patterned fabric with frill also gives your hens a cheerful and unique appearance in the run.
