Howdy everyone! I've been snooping around on this site for advice for a while and have finally decided to join in on the madness.

I have been raising chickens and ducks for about a year now and I am still learning. The first set of six pullets I raised from tractor supply left me with one big rooster and the knowledge that you must use medicated chick starter if you want birds to live... Yeah. :/

I just ordered some chicken saddles. I have three hens that have been getting a little too much love from their Roo. Any luck with saddles? I know I need more hens (I have four young pullets that are almost big enough to introduce to the flock) and I was looking around to see if any of y'all east Texans would be happy to give a hen or two a good home.

Just realized I'm rambling so I'm gunna hush up and wait for the hellos. ;)
 
Hi!

Welcome to BYC! Yup, hen saddles work for us. Glad you joined us!

You might want to check in with your states thread and chat with others in your area if anyone has any hens they would like to share...

I have never used hen saddles, but I hear they do work well to keep the rooster from wearing a path on the hens backs. Good luck in finding more birds and enjoy BYC!

Thanks everyone! I'm beyond excited for the saddles. I had gotten two hens from my grannys church friend and one had already gotten bare back from their rooster. :/ Thanks for the link :) I'm so ready to grow my little flock.
