Overview
Double Layer Saddle for Hens with Neck Hole 27 x 31 cm Breathable Oxford Fabric Adjustable Fastening Feather Protection

The double layer saddle for hens is a practical tool for breeders who want to protect the backs of their hens. The apron is made from two layers of oxford fabric, which is soft, breathable, and does not hinder the hen on its back. With dimensions of 27 x 31 cm, it covers the entire back from the neck to the tail and protects the areas where feathers are most often damaged. The rooster holds the hen with its claws and beak right on the back during mating, and the saddle creates a solid protective layer between them. The hen can still walk around the run, scratch, and peck as usual.

The top part of the saddle features a neck hole through which the hen can pass its head, ensuring that the apron stays in place and does not slide forward or sideways. On the sides, there are two straps that go under the wings, and the fastening can be adjusted according to the size of the hen. The saddle also helps hens that have had their back feathers pecked by other flock members. The covered areas are no longer as noticeable, other hens will stop pecking at them, and new feathers have time to grow back peacefully. The fabric with a cheerful print also makes it easier to distinguish individual hens in the flock.

Fitting it is quick and easy. Gently hold the hen in your arms, pass its head through the neck hole, and place the saddle on its back so that the wider part faces the tail. Then tuck the side straps under the wings and adjust the fastening so that the saddle stays in place but does not press anywhere, allowing the hen to spread its wings freely. During the first few days, it is good to observe the hen occasionally until it gets used to the apron. Regularly check the saddle, and if it gets dirty, clean it to keep it comfortable for the hen. When not needed, simply remove it, fold it, and store it in a dry place.

The saddle for hens with a neck hole is a useful addition to any henhouse where a rooster lives with a flock of layers. The apron made from breathable oxford fabric covers the hen's back and helps protect the feathers that are regrowing after being pecked or during mating. Thanks to the two layers of fabric, the back protection is more substantial than with a single apron. It is held in place on the back by adjustable fastening under the wings. It is suitable for small domestic breeding in the garden as well as for larger flocks on a farm.
