Suggestions for best turkey hen saddle?

[Missi]

One of my black Spanish turkey hen is getting some moderate scratches on a bald patch under her wing. I noticed her "crying" as the tom was mating her, which was unusual. I had a close look at her and found the wounds. I have only a trio of turkeys and do not want to separate the tom so does anyone have any opinions on the best brand of hen saddle to use for turkeys?

I have no experience with hen saddles. We trim spurs and nails on the toms in the spring and it can help cut down on side wounds. It's a normal part of mating for the hen to make a high pitch squeal during mating.

It's not the normal squeal. It's a distressed cry. Like when chicks in a brooder are too cold, only louder.
