Roosters often have their favourites and sometimes this can cause a lot of soreness and missing feathers to a hens back.

This is when a poultry saddle can come in handy.

A poultry saddle is essentially what it sounds like - a saddle to put on the back of a hen (or rooster) to protect from rough treatment or to give an injury a chance to heal without being pecked at. The saddles are made of hard wearing material with the straps fitting snuggly around the wings, but still giving complete freedom of movement.
