Colourful Poultry Saddles, pack of 3
Pack of 3 Colourful Fabric Poultry Saddles. Three saddles in different fabrics with a quilted inner for added warmth.
Poultry Saddles, or hen saddles, can be worn by hens to protect their backs from injuries often caused by over-amorous cockerels during the mating season.
They can also protect the birds from attacks by other birds when hen-pecking is a problem, during the moult where it will help keep them warm and allow feathers to grow back or to prevent them from damaging their own feathers by over-preening.
Covering the back of the bird with a saddle will allow feathers to grow back underneath and hide the bare skin which often encourages feather pecking problems, especially during the moult.
Each pack contains one Garden design; one Leaf design and one Pink zigzag design. Helps with the identification of birds too.
