Ok saddle, but how about a cap?

[mrbstephens]

My RIR appears to be my rooster's favorite. Her saddle feathers look alright, but the poor dear has a bald spot on her head from him biting while he mounts her. Wondering if she'd wear a little cap to protect her head.

if you can find a way to keep it on her then it might be worth it. My slw is the same way and I put blue cote on her head. so far so good!

Heh heh...maybe she needs a hoodie!!!!

I'd be interested in hearing more about this - my BA & BR have the same problem. It's winter, and I wonder if it's too cold for them to be bald?

I have this problem with a couple of mine too. Some roos just seem to have a favorite hen.

So I had this question too and happened to find this thread. Visualizing her wearing a hoodie made me chuckle.

I think Lemonade, the rooster, is responsible. And then I saw one of the polish girls pecking at her the other day. Probably a "plucking duet."

NayNay doesn't seem concerned and is the biggest, bossiest hen I have, but this look just doesn't flatter her. lol.

I told Lemonade he had to hug her and say he was sorry...but she wouldn't let him. So she probably encourages him to do her styling.
