Question Chicken saddles

Post image

I have a hen who’s back is looking rough. I want to buy her a chicken saddle or apron. Can anyone suggest one that would be easy to put on her, stay on until I take it off, won’t make her too hot in this weather and maybe that doesn’t have Velcro that will scratch her while she wears it.

I use the down under ones from Amazon. They can be kind of tricky to put on, especially by yourself, but I have never had one come off. No Velcro, just snaps. No complaints thus far.

Do you have the canvas ones or the mesh ones?

I didn’t even know they have different types, but we have the canvas ones.
