DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS 4 Pack Premium Chicken Saddle with Adjustable Straps to Suit Medium and Large Hens, Poultry Saver, Protector

Our HIGH QUALITY chicken saddles provide protection for the girls and grip for the boys. In the past, we had the sides of birds ripped open from the males claws. Not any more. With our UNIQUE FASTENING SYSTEM, the saddles fit a wide range of sizes. We use METAL SNAPS on the ends of each strap for durability, which gives maximum adjustment. The straps are soft and wont cut into the birds wings, like elastic straps can. Protection, durability, comfort and a saddle that stays on, if adjusted correctly, have been the driving forces behind our design. We breed from about 50 birds each season and have been using saddles for the last 8 years. We know what works and what doesnt. This is our mesh design for hot weather, as it allows for maximum airflow but still with enough protection. It keeps its shape very well. It doesnt easily blow up in the wind or flip out of the way. The trims are all DOUBLE SEWN with a strong thread and the grip cord, which gives the rooster more traction during mating, is triple sewn. Our saddles also help birds heal if they have been feather pecked, preventing further damage. By fitting them at the first sign of any feather pecking it helps stop the habit from developing. With the damaged area covered, the other birds are unable to continue pecking and so the feathers grow back to normal without having to remove and isolate the injured bird. Because of its adjustable straps, it fits on half grown birds as well, covering most of their tail . Particularly helpful when growing out young males together, as they are renowned for feather pecking backs and tails. We have used our saddles without any problems in heavy rain falls, heavy frosts and even in the middle of summer when it can get over 40 degrees. Their design has evolved over the last 8 years to the quality product we now have available. The saddles are guaranteed for 12 months for any reason, however I expect you would get a few seasons out of them without any problems.
