Yes, those "saddles" are very interesting and I had never heard of them before. But, I was referring to "Pinless Peepers", which are like little sunglasses they wear on top of their beaks. It prevents them from seeing the injured hen and attacking her but allows them to still see up and down to eat and get around. I posted some pictures of mine just recently and they've been wearing them for a week today and are doing good. I posted it under the Welcome New Members forum and I said "Hello from Arizona and then asked for help." I had never heard of those before a week ago either! We are learning a lot on this website aren't we?!!
