Those new to chicken-keeping may never have heard of a chicken saddle or chicken diaper, but if you keep chickens, chances are, you’re likely to need one sooner or later. Why would you ever need a saddle or diaper for a chicken? Good question.
A hen saddle is a piece of material that protects a chicken’s skin and feathers from damage due to rooster over-mating. During mating, a rooster stands on a hen’s back, holding her neck feathers with his beak and steadying himself with his feet. This activity, known as treading, can cause feather loss and skin injuries. An aggressive rooster, or one with a preference for a particular hen, may cause bald spots on a hen’s back and wings; these vulnerable areas can be protected with the use of a properly constructed and fitted hen saddle.
Esta magia se puede utilizar para cualquier propósito, incluso si tiene anormalidades anatómicas de los genitales o si no tiene ninguna excitación sexual.También es posible obtener resultados negativos si la disfunción eréctil es consecuencia más aquí de un traumatismo psicológico o de un proceso inflamatorio urogenital. En esta situación, es necesaria una terapia específica, pero no sintomática.
Chicken diapers are used not only for house chickens, but for times when a chicken becomes house-bound due to a serious injury or illness requiring close supervision. The diapers provide the chicken-keeper with the option not to keep their pet penned-up in a crate or cage for the duration of their recovery. They are easy to put on, adjustable and have a waterproof liner in the pouch. The ‘V’ shape allows it to cup around the chicken’s tail to provide a good fit.

We've been wanting one for a while, our bantam silkie "Phoebe" has a real house habit! We like the colourful flowers! Thanks so much for the opportunity! Good luck everyone!
My girls are ganging up on Donkey, the rooster. He is completely bald in back. He looks so funny! Maybe HE needs the saddle….
Great informative post, I would love to get the black bandana diaper for my rooster.
I'd need those diapers for my few ISA Browns that lay out of the run, and a pink spotted diaper would be nice!!
