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.

My hens need the jacket because the rooster is pretty rough, but he protects them and takes excellent care of them.
One of my new Buffs Juliet, has very short feathers on her back thru her tail area. She is new to me and thought maybe that a rooster has gotten to her to much. She was a gift so I don't know. My rooster who is huge, Barred Lemon Cuckoo Maran. He has tried with one of the other Buff's not Juliet. If he starts I will get one. None are laying eggs yet. That didn't stop him thoough lol

ATET submission, Patty Mullins: Melinda was overwrought with anxiety. She took a deep breath, clucked softly. Doc Brown nodded sympathetically, encouraging her to continue. Melinda had never told anyone about her flirtation with stardom and a planned trip to Hollywood. Like many young hopefuls, she had dreams of leaving the farm and being in the entertainment business. When Foghorn Leghorn invited her for a screen test she was filled with excitement. She made the mistake of sharing her good news with Liza, who promptly took her place as an imposter, stealing the idea for herself. Liza had no morals and… Read more »
Wow….chicken diapers! I understand the idea behind the saddles…to protect the poor ladies from "damage" from mating…but diapers….hmmmm…I guess prefer my girls to stay outside, where I can visit THEM…. I don't need them inside my house….. I guess the deal is…I stay out of their house and they stay out of mine! But thanks for posting…. most interesting!
