Yes there is such thing as chicken saddles but they definitely aren't for us to ride our hens! Chicken saddles are cloth or canvas back covers with stretchy straps that go around each wing. The main purpose of this unique creation is to protect the back of hens that have become the “favorite” of your rooster. When a rooster mounts one particular hen often he can pull feathers off her back and leave her with a bare back. The feathers can be very sensitive and even bleed. Continuous mounting makes it difficult for those feathers to grow back. With a chicken saddle on it protects the hen from further damage and gives her feathers a chance to grow back. Also, they are super cute!
