Description

Known by many names, including Hen Apron, Chicken Saddle, Poultry Breeding Saddle, Chicken Jacket, or Hen Protector, these saddles are designed to help prevent feather loss caused by roosters during mating, pecking, bullying, or foraging.

Made from durable waterproof cotton canvas with comfortable elasticated straps, they provide reliable protection while allowing your chicken to move freely.

Personalise your saddle with your chicken’s name or your farm name in your chosen embroidery colour. Simply send your preferred name and thread colour after purchase to create a truly unique piece.

This makes it an ideal gift for poultry keepers, breeders, and chicken lovers.

Size Guide

Measuring your hen correctly helps ensure both comfort and the best fit.

Width Measurement
Measure across the shoulders, from under one wing to the other. The elasticated straps pass beneath each wing and should fit snugly without being too tight. Use the multiple snap settings to adjust the fit if required.

Length Measurement
Measure from the shoulder blades to the base of the tail (uropygial gland).
