Recommendations for chicken saddle

[Gotalotofpetstoo]

We have a small bantam hen that our rooster is being too rough on. I believe, as she is missing many feathers on her back. I want to buy a chicken saddle for her, however I'm having a difficult time finding one small enough for a 2 to 3 lb chicken. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I could make one easily. I just don't have the time at the moment.

Have you checked out Hen Saver? It looks like they might have a bantam size. https://crazy-k-farm.myshopify.com/...ron-saddle-made-in-usa?variant=32428876496974

Thank you. I just ordered 2 of them for her.

Personally, I prefer a western saddle for my hens. That's just what I was raised using, though. I find the saddle pads tend to be heavier and warmer than English. However, some chickens truly do better in a lighter English saddle.


(Totally joking, I see you ordered a couple already)

A nice rooster pedicure will help to reduce feather damage. Trim and file claws and spurs so tve are nicely rounded and no sharp edges left.
