Got 50 bucks burning a hole in my pocket, what are some neat and useful chicken accessories on Amazon?

Hen saddles if you have roosters, also mealworms.

Is there anything I should know when looking for hen saddles?

Not really other than getting one that you can adjust to fit your hen.

My shopping list (not amazon) might give you ideas
- Vacuum sealed ice bucket, two of them since you probably don't already have one, for waterer
- a crock the right size to hold the stainless steel bowl for their food, the ice cream bucket is a bit too big
- coffee grounds for bedding
- 5 or 6 gallon pails
- gamma lids for the pails
- sprout trays for winter fresh food
- more stair rails for over the 1x4s of the poop board sides and nest box platform sides
- better latches for the doors to the coop

I received a chicken picnic table for Christmas. Yes, it's mostly for the cute factor, but it raises their food bowls off the ground and keeps them cleaner, so more than just a pretty face. Could also be used for treats. See https://www.etsy.com/market/chicken_picnic_table

Get them a tub of mealworms and buy them some harnesses on etsy (it'll take a while for them to get used to wearing them)
You could buy yourself some chicken shoes (gardening shoes/boots) to wear when you go to the coop.
Oh oh also you can buy them clickers and train them using this book:

What do you need for the chickens....right now?
Might be better to save that money for spring or until you find a real need.
Do you have a good heated waterer?

I don’t think we really need accessories for our birds and they end up being a waste of money. Mealworms, black soldier fly larvae and such for your birds in winter is always good. Maybe use the fresh part of Amazon and get them some veggies. Otherwise hang on to the bucks until you really need something.
