Overview
Reflective Saddle for Hens 31.5 x 24 cm Waterproof Back Vest Made of Polyester with Velcro for Poultry Ducks and Geese

The reflective saddle for hens is a protective vest for the back that helps to shield the feathers on the backs of hens and other types of poultry. In the middle of the saddle, there is a wide reflective stripe, which makes the animal more visible in the run during twilight and at night, for example, in the headlights of a passing car. The saddle is made from lightweight polyester fabric, which is breathable, waterproof, and easy to clean. The edges of the saddle are trimmed all around with contrasting piping, which emphasises its shape. Hens can remain in the flock with the saddle on, allowing the feathers on their backs to grow back peacefully.

The saddle has an overall length of 31.5 cm and a width of 24 cm, with a width of 15 cm at the neck. It is put on through the head opening and is secured to the body with adjustable Velcro straps at the neck and under the belly. The straps can be easily loosened or tightened, allowing the saddle to be adjusted for smaller hens as well as larger ones. The vest covers the back, which the rooster steps on during mating and where other hens most often peck. The lightweight material does not burden the animal and does not restrict it while scratching, walking, or perching.

Before the first use, loosen the straps, pull the saddle over the head, and place it on the back so that the reflective stripe runs across the back. Then fasten the Velcro straps at the neck and under the belly to ensure the saddle fits snugly but does not choke. In the first few days, check that the saddle does not rub anywhere and that the animal has acclimatised to it. The soiled saddle is easy to clean thanks to the smooth polyester fabric. The waterproof fabric keeps the animal's back dry even in the rain.

The reflective saddle for hens combines feather protection on the back with better visibility of the animal in low light. The size 31.5 x 24 cm covers the entire back of a standard hen, and the adjustable straps ensure a secure fit. The lightweight and waterproof fabric is suitable for the run in all weather conditions. The saddle is beneficial for hens that are losing feathers due to the rooster or pecking from other hens. It is useful in backyard farming as well as on smaller farms with ducks and geese.
