Fun times

[Rick589]

Well, I just put my first saddle on my first, and most abused, hen. About 5 seconds later after being cut loose she went nuts and of course sent the rest of the troupe into a hysteria. My, these are good times. So, I guess my question is is this something I should just let happen until she adjust? OR, am I just not doing something right? I see only one way to put this saddle on, here is a picture of the offending item.

We got a pair of similar canvas ones. I needed it just for one hen. She did freak out and went and hid. I think it's normal for them to be a little scared of them at first. After a day or two she was walking around like normal and wore it for a month until I took one rooster out of the pen. That was helping so we haven't used any since.
