Hahha yah I think she would of just worn it if we let her, but since she truly was in no need of it I wanted it off her :) less chance for my older ladies to pick on her!
When a rooster mounts a hen his spurs can do some major damage to her back and cause feathers to be ripped out and even sores/cuts. When a hen loses feathers and/or gets wounds she is then more susceptible to be picked at by other hens and made worse when the rooster comes around again… so a saddle is to help a hen regrow her feathers and heal her skin without being separated from flock.
Go Blueberry, go!
Hahha it didn’t take long to catch her… I think she realized we were taking it off… no fight at all!
😂
Hi Mary!
What a wonderful protective saddle. Love it! ❤ your friend sure will appreciate it.
Thank you! I now need to finish the other two (hopefully tonight) so she can try to help save their backs! Poor girls!
That looks great! I think Blueberry likes it 😂😊
