Made from rugged 14 oz cotton canvas with double-stitched seams and non-rusting copper snap straps, it fits a wide range of standard breeds from small to extra-large. This burgundy saddle offers reliable protection and comfort, promoting feather regrowth without isolating birds, and is built to withstand all weather conditions for multiple seasons. ## Description Our HIGH QUALITY chicken saddles provide protection for the girls and grip for the boys. In the past, before we realized the damage that can occur, 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 won’t 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 doesn’t. The canvas is breathable, tough and firm 14 oz cotton, that keeps its shape very well. It doesn’t 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. Review: Works great, strong and well-made! - Bought this for a hen at the bottom of the pecking order who was getting harassed by the rooster as well as several dominant hens. She was losing feathers from the harassment. I received this saddle and the shipping was FAST! It was easy to figure out, but there were also instructions just in case, which was helpful. It went on the hen very easily and fit nicely. It stays on her securely even when she is very active and when she gets attention from the rooster. Actually just having it on her seems to dissuade some of the other hens from picking on her. Her feathers are starting to grow back now. She shows no discomfort or anything from wearing it and actually seems to be a little more confident since she is not being harassed so much. ABSOLUTELY worth the money. It seems to be very well made, and sturdy, and easy to clean. If I ever need to saddle another hen I'm 100% buying from this company again. Thanks so much! Review: Well made, good fit - This is a nicely made product. We liked the adjustability and the ease of fitting on to our small hen. She seems comfortable with it and it was a breeze to put on. ## Features - NO MORE RIPPED HENS gives great protection on back and sides during mating from treading roosters - FITS STANDARD BREEDS from small to x-large, adjustable straps with quality non rusting copper snaps - BUILT RUGGED TO HANDLE THE BOYS 14 oz breathable cotton canvas, double sewn for durability - PROTECTION FOR FEATHER PECKED BIRDS enables healing and regrowth of feathers without isolation - THIS COLOR DOES NOT INCLUDE SHOULDER COVERS only the green saddle includes this accessory ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PB4XGVS | | Batteries Included | No | | Color | Burgundy | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,231) | | Date First Available | 10 May 2019 | | Item Weight | 90 g | | Manufacturer reference | DO7 | | Product Dimensions | 19.5 x 19.5 x 1 cm; 90 g | | Quantity | 1 | | batteries required | No | ## Images ![DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS Premium Chicken Saddle with Adjustable Straps to Suit Small, Medium and Large Hens, Poultry Saver, Protector, Apron, Supplies, Care Accessories, Products and Equipment (Burgundy) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91dGsWApb4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, strong and well-made! *by J***Y on 7 June 2024* Bought this for a hen at the bottom of the pecking order who was getting harassed by the rooster as well as several dominant hens.

She seems comfortable with it and it was a breeze to put on. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These chicken saddles fit well and work well, good quality, the chooks love it *by M***7 on 11 March 2022* I've had these saddles/aprons on a couple of chooks for about a month now, because of no feathers left on their backs from constant rooster attention towards their two favourite hens. The aprons were easy to fit and the girls had no problem quickly getting used to them. They actually seem quite proud of their aprons! The hardest thing was catching the chooks and keeping them still/calm, then the fitting was easy, but I did read the instructions well and played with opening and closing of the clips etc beforehand. I used the standard clip stud fitting first (there is a size adjustment system). One chook needed hers tightened (clip moved to a different stud) due to slipping off one wing after a couple of weeks of wearing it, she's been fine since then. I forgot to insert the optional soft black plastic 'wings' that came with the aprons, but found I haven't needed them anyway (the 'wings' seem to be for stopping the apron from sliding sideways out of place, but I recommend initially trying the apron without them). Occasionally the rear end of an apron is turned upwards after a night jostling on the roost, but then it ends up back in the correct position on its own during the day. Their feathers are starting to grow back properly under the aprons, which is great because I was a bit concerned the tips would continue to be rubbed off. So I'm very pleased with this product, even the colours are nice. A big thank you to the designers and manufacturers. ## Frequently Bought Together - DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS Medium-Large Chicken Saddle with Adjustable Straps, Chicken Apron, Poultry Saver, Pet Supplies, Including Shoulder Cover (Burgundy) - DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS 2 Pack Small Chicken Saddles for Bantams and Young Birds, Includes Shoulder Covers (Teal) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/292335961-down-under-outdoors-premium-chicken-saddle-with-adjustable-straps-to](https://www.desertcart.be/products/292335961-down-under-outdoors-premium-chicken-saddle-with-adjustable-straps-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
