DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS Premium Chicken Saddle with Adjustable Straps to Suit Small, Medium and Large Hens, Poultry Saver, Protector, Apron, Supplies, Care Accessories, Products and Equipment (Burgundy)

Bought this for a hen at the bottom of the pecking order who was getting harassed by the rooster as well as several dominant hens. She was losing feathers from the harassment. I received this saddle and the shipping was FAST! It was easy to figure out, but there were also instructions just in case, which was helpful. It went on the hen very easily and fit nicely. It stays on her securely even when she is very active and when she gets attention from the rooster. Actually just having it on her seems to dissuade some of the other hens from picking on her. Her feathers are starting to grow back now. She shows no discomfort or anything from wearing it and actually seems to be a little more confident since she is not being harassed so much. ABSOLUTELY worth the money. It seems to be very well made, and sturdy, and easy to clean. If I ever need to saddle another hen I'm 100% buying from this company again. Thanks so much!

This is a nicely made product. We liked the adjustability and the ease of fitting on to our small hen. She seems comfortable with it and it was a breeze to put on.

I've had these saddles/aprons on a couple of chooks for about a month now, because of no feathers left on their backs from constant rooster attention towards their two favourite hens. The aprons were easy to fit and the girls had no problem quickly getting used to them. They actually seem quite proud of their aprons! The hardest thing was catching the chooks and keeping them still/calm, then the fitting was easy, but I did read the instructions well and played with opening and closing of the clips etc beforehand. I used the standard clip stud fitting first (there is a size adjustment system). One chook needed hers tightened (clip moved to a different stud) due to slipping off one wing after a couple of weeks of wearing it, she's been fine since then. I forgot to insert the optional soft black plastic 'wings' that came with the aprons, but found I haven't needed them anyway (the 'wings' seem to be for stopping the apron from sliding sideways out of place, but I recommend initially trying the apron without them). Occasionally the rear end of an apron is turned upwards after a night jostling on the roost, but then it ends up back in the correct position on its own during the day. Their feathers are starting to grow back properly under the aprons, which is great because I was a bit concerned the tips would continue to be rubbed off. So I'm very pleased with this product, even the colours are nice. A big thank you to the designers and manufacturers.

These saddles work really well, are sturdily made, comfortable and fit both my larger and medium hens. I had a serious problem with my rather splendid Black Orphington cockerel as he wore the feathers off two of my hens and traumatised the one and I was reluctantly thinking I would have to rehome him. However after the hens had been wearing the saddles for a couple of days he has left them alone and they are happy again and don't have to hide from him.

This is Amazing. I bought it to stop my chook ripping out the feathers on her back. It definately works.
