Overview
Chicken Saddle with Wing and Tail Protection 34 x 25 cm Waterproof Back Apron with Elastic Straps and Button

The chicken saddle is a practical protective apron for the back, which helps to protect the feathers and skin of laying hens during their everyday life in a flock. Unlike simpler saddles, it covers not only the back but also the upper part of the wings thanks to the side panels, and due to the extended back section, it also protects the area near the tail. The overall size is 34 x 25 cm, so the saddle covers a large part of the body. Inside, there is a waterproof lining that prevents moisture from penetrating to the animal's body. This way, the hen can remain in the run with the rest of the flock and does not need to be separated for feather protection.

The saddle is put on over the neck through an opening of approximately 6 cm in diameter and is secured under the wings with two elastic straps. The straps fasten with a button fastening with several holes, allowing easy adjustment of the length to fit the size of the hen. The elastic straps keep the saddle in place even during scratching, running, or perching, while not restricting wing movement. The top side is printed with a cheerful pattern, making the protection look pleasant in the coop and the garden. The saddle is suitable for hens that are losing feathers on their backs due to roosters or pecking from other hens.

Before the first use, it is advisable to try the saddle on and adjust the straps so that they fit snugly but do not constrict. Place the saddle over the hen's head through the opening, thread the straps under the wings, and fasten with the button. During the first few days, check to see if the animal has adjusted to the saddle and that it is not rubbing anywhere. The saddle is lightweight and allows the animal free movement while scratching, walking, and resting. Damaged areas on the back are thus protected from the beaks of other hens and the claws of roosters.

The protective saddle for hens is a simple way to protect the back, wings, and tail of laying hens without the need to isolate them from the flock. The size 34 x 25 cm with wing coverage offers greater protection than a standard saddle that only covers the back. Adjustable elastic straps with a button ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Thanks to the waterproof lining, the hen's body stays dry even in wet weather. The saddle is suitable for home breeding in the garden as well as for smaller farms.
