you talk about a saddle.where do I get one .I have a female that thinks she is a roo and has damaged the back of one hen.I have gotten rid of one hen that was doing that,but this other one is doing it also.The one she is picking on has had a bad foot that she developed last summer.We separated her for a long time to see if it would heal.It hasn,t.I put her back with the others and she seemed like she was backing down the aggressive ones.As i stated in the begining it is one aggressive one that is bothering her.I am thinking of getting rid of the troublemaker, but am not sure if another will start.
I live in NH too,and it is hard to find somebody to ask locally.
Sorry to make this sooo long,but hate to put down the younger more docile bird.
