Show People, Do you use saddles????

[pips&peeps]

I am considering getting some saddles for my gals as I am tired of seperating them in cages for 6-8 weeks before every show for their back feathers to grow back.

So I want to ask those of you who show do they work for this? What has been your results using a saddle.

I am concerned that the feathers underneath the saddle would still get alot of wear just from being attached.

Thanks for your input.
