Pictures of my first chicken saddle I made.

Don't laugh now, I know my elastic is a lil' cockeyed. I have misplaced my garment tape and I am at work, so I could not get any measurements. I had to throw one together for my Lucy girl her poor back is pert near bare.

And my little heart locket embroidery thingy.

As you can see from OFH's pic, a chicken saddle is a garment that you put on your hens to prevent their backs from being torn up my a rooster's mating.
The top bands of elastic go under their wings and if there is a middle strap, around their belly.
I had to add an extra strap across the lower chest of mine, because my girls got very adapt at taking them off.
