Hen Saddle

[Disheygirl]

My roo is tearing up some of my girls’ backs and wings. I put saddles with flaps on, but then they can’t get to their gland. What’s the schedule of removing them so they can preen, or are they too big? Should they be able to reach their gland?

Do you have a picture of the saddles on your hens?

They should be able to reach their preen gland, so the saddles are too big (or long). Good catch!
