Saddle or not?

[lulubell15]

A friend of mine has a hen in full moult & the rooster has taken a fancy to her & is causing feather damage as well.
Should she fit a saddle on the hen or not? Saddles are usually very uncomfortable with new features coming through.

Yes, saddle her. There's a double strap designed on Amazon that is really good quality.

Thanks, I'll get her to look into getting one.

Yes it would be.
I would remove the male for a couple-few weeks.

I, too, would remove the rooster from the flock for a bit.
