I have a question about chicken saddles or aprons. I have 6 hens. At least 4 of my girls have some pretty good sized bare spots on their backs, with 2 being really bad. My rooster is very big. I was thinking of attempting the saddles/aprons because I feel terrible for them and they look really pitiful. I'd like some opinions/experiences with them please. Two things I was especially wondering is do you have to take them off and put them back on every day or can you leave them on all the time until they need a wash? Second, are they going to be able to even wear them in the summer? I know the pictures aren't great, but you get the idea. They kept walking away from me and I was trying to dodge the rooster while taking the pictures.
