⭐️DESCRIPTION:⭐️
Known by many different names, the Hen Apron (Chicken Saddles, hen saddle, Chicken Apron, Poultry Saddle, Poultry Breeding Saddle, Poultry Apron, Hen Protector, Hen Jacket) protects the hen from feather loss caused by the rooster during mating.
Introducing our egg-celent chicken saddles, designed for your exceptional hen. Made from durable waterproof canvas, these saddles feature a sturdy exterior that effectively protects against discomfort and feather loss caused by roosters. They also include a tail protector for both decorative flair and enhanced shielding.
⭐️NOTE: PLEASE MEASURE YOUR CHICKEN BEFORE PURCHASE. ALL SIZES ARE MENTIONED BELOW ⭐️
⭐️SIZE GUIDE:⭐️
Measuring your hen for the right saddle size is crucial for both functionality and comfort.
⭐️Width Measurement: ⭐️
Measure from under one wing to under the other wing. The saddle is secured by a tape passing over each wing; it should be snug enough to stay in place but not too tight to cause discomfort. If the saddle slips off, you can sew a small dart in the tape to adjust its length.
⭐️Length Measurement:⭐️
Measure from the shoulder blades to the uropygial gland at the base of the hen’s tail. The uropygial gland produces oil for feather preening, so the saddle should cover the hen’s back adequately without hindering access to this gland. Each hen is unique, so accurate measurement ensures the right fit.
Understanding these measurements ensures you select the correct size saddle for your hen, promoting both comfort and protection. We offer a variety of sizes to accommodate different breeds and individual hen sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for every bird.

🐔Putting on the Chicken Saddles🐔
To dress your hen in the chicken saddle, gently secure her, slide the strap under her wings, and snap them on the right fitting point so it’s not too loose or too tight, being careful. Your hen may need some time to adjust to her new attire, so please be patient with her.
