    Hen Saddles

    I have talked to several people who make them and no one is able to make one covering her back and breastbone so I guess this isn't possible? It's thought the hen might get caught up in it. I'm getting ready to put Flossie in a hospital pen so her feathers will grow out before cold weather...

    Hen Saddles

    I ordered one before but my hen wouldn't have anything to do with it. I still have it, but now I think I need one for our black Jersey Giant hen. She's a big girl, so I'm guessing she would need an XL? Also not only are her back feathers worn, but her breast bone is sore and featherless from...

    Tell Lucky I think it's a great color for her, the pink makes her comb nicely accent, lol!

    Hen Saddles

    I'm gonna just keep it if I need it. she grew her feathers back out, we let her out and she's been fine. Blended right back in to the flock with little problems, and she found a new roo who keeps her safe from the cockerels, and he's older, so he's not always jumping on her. Plus he's the...

    Hen Saddles

    Hen Saddles

    I don't plan on leaving it on forever, providing I can catch her again once she goes out. But wouldn't it be like having a cast on? Wouldn't it itch underneath? Sorry for all the questions, but I really worry about her, she's a timid little thing. I'm really hoping the saddle will give her...

    Hen Saddles

    One last question, you say yours wear their saddles all the time, but that would make it hard for them to dustbathe, wouldn't it? I mean here we will just try taking it off anyway after awhile, but she's so scared of the roos that I'm half thinking maybe I ought to leave it on her, even after...

    Hen Saddles

    So cute! We have a hen who's pulling her own feathers. She's in a pen by herself now and I want the saddle to stop her from doing that (pulling the new feathers growing in). Her feathers were worn off originally by the roos though. Normally she free ranges but I would worry about her getting...
