Chicken saddle recommendations

[Alopez1773]

Hello everyone,

I have a hen who is my rooster's favorite and her back is getting worse. I noticed feather loss and healed lesions of what I believe is his nails/spur when he climbs on her. Can anyone recommend a good chicken saddle? I got some from Amazon and they are very bulky and seen not too comfortable for my chicken. They also fit her pretty big. She weighs nearly 5 lbs (4.8 lbs). I would really appreciate this! Below is a picture of my sweet girl.

I don’t have personal experience using hen saddles so I can’t recommend a brand, but if you can’t find one you like what about making one? Then you could customize the size and fit.

That's a great suggestion although that would definitely be testing my skills lol. It would be worth trying. Thank you!
