What this product does Protects a chicken’s back and sides to prevent feather pecking and injury while feathers regrow. Provides a natural-looking cover that reduces social rejection by other birds, so your flock remains calmer during recovery. Key benefits (why you need it) Prevents further damage: physical barrier stops pecking and reduces wounds and feather loss. Encourages regrowth: full back and side coverage protects developing feathers until they mature. Minimizes stress and isolation: realistic feather pattern blends with the bird’s appearance to lower bullying. Saves time and effort: waterproof, durable material is quick to clean and built for repeated use. Main features (what makes it stand out) Coverage: designed to reliably cover the back and sides where pecking and wear most often occur. Realistic feather pattern: detailed simulated-feather print helps the saddle look natural in the flock. Material: robust waterproof fabric resists soiling, dries quickly, and withstands repeated use. Fit: adjustable shoulder straps allow a secure, comfortable fit for a range of chicken breeds and body sizes. Durability and maintenance: constructed for reuse; wipe clean or rinse for fast turnaround between uses. Compatibility and sizing Fits most adult chickens and small fowl thanks to flexible design and adjustable straps. Ideal for standard breeds and common backyard flock sizes; check strap adjustments to accommodate heavier or unusually shaped birds. Performance and care Protects during critical phases like molting or feather regrowth. Waterproof exterior prevents moisture absorption and simplifies cleaning: rinse or wipe with mild soap and air dry. Reinforced stitching and quality material support repeated on/off use without losing shape or coverage. Typical use scenarios Molting support: put the saddle on during the molt to protect emerging pinfeathers and keep hens comfortable until feathers return. Post-injury or wound healing: use as a protective layer while wounds scab and feathers regrow to reduce pecking and contamination. Introducing new birds or preventing bullying: apply when integrating hens or when a bird becomes the target of pecking to reduce social stress and physical harm. What to expect when you buy A reusable, waterproof saddle with realistic feather appearance, adjustable shoulder straps, and dependable back-and-side protection designed to promote safer, calmer feather regrowth. Carefully follow fit and adjustment steps when first applying to ensure the bird can move, eat, and perch normally. Replace or repair the saddle if it becomes excessively worn or damaged.
