Sunscreen for Hens

[Amanda1503]

I have a few hens that have been enthusiastically loved by our abnormally big rooster. This has resulted in some feather loss. I have implemented hen saddles and I’ve been rotating the hens in and out to give them a break.
The girls that I rotate out, get outside time but I keep them saddle free since they aren’t with the rooster.
With all that backstory I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a safe sunscreen for birds. I would like to put some on their backs before they have outside time.
Thank you in advance.

I have used Coppertone spray-on sunscreen on bald backs with good success. Yes, hens can get sunburned and they can also get skin cancer.
