  • Just what I needed!!
Color: Grey Mesh
I've had chickens for about 14 years. I used saddles about 12 years ago, but they were much different than these. Things change! I have a new flock of chickens that are about 9 months old now, and two of the hens are favorites of my two roosters. I've got 18 girls but these two seem to get more attention than the others. Unfortunately that means that their backs are basically devoid of feathers at this point. My biggest concern is that with naked skin showing, they are subject to mosquitoes, and other biting bugs, Plus being scratched or hurt by the roosters. I chose these particular Saddles because they were a mesh material. I didn't need the Wing protectors, but they came as a set. I thought they were a bit expensive, but the reviews for them were very good. I chose mesh because I live in Central Florida, and it's hot here about 8 months of the year. Plus we get a lot of rain through the summer. I figured that the mesh would allow them to stay cool and dry quickly. No solid material to make them overheat during the summer months. They were easy to put on, although the girls weren't very happy with me! Lol! One girl walked backwards for about 10 minutes, the white one, and scared everybody in the flock!! I think they thought she had lost her mind or something. And the other girl didn't even notice she had it on. Neither one notices they're wearing it at this point. The mesh material is very flexible yet very strong. They are extremely well made, and the snaps are very strong. My girls are mid to smaller size so I used it on the smaller snap size, and it fit fine. I imagine that I will get many years of use out of these. I was hoping that I could buy a two pack of the mesh, but it was only available in size small. I'm not happy at having to spend $26 for two saddles, but what can I say. As I stated earlier my decision was based on it being a mesh material, and being the only such mesh Saddles available that I can find. Overall, I think they are a very good product. They are very well made, and very sturdy. I'm sure that they're very easy to clean if necessary. And they protect the girls backs very well. Very happy with my purchase! ... show more

  • Works great, strong and well-made!
Color: Blue
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! ... show more

  • Worked great
Color: Grey Mesh
I had my doubts, but it worked great, stayed on my hen with out issue, and with in a couple weeks, all her feathers had grown back in. I’ll keep it around for any future feather needs, and I’d buy extra of these if I needed more. Held up very well.

  • They Work Great
Color: Pink
The media could not be loaded. Great fit. Durable fabric. Easy to use. Seem to be comfortable. I bought three. I only took off a star because one snap is messed up on one of them and interferes with fit. Great product otherwise.

  • Injury protection
Color: Grey Mesh
Bought this for one of our hens who had a injury on her right thigh. It worked well on keeping it covered so that she and others wouldn't continue to peck at it and make it worse. The quality of this item is excellent and heavy duty. The weight of it did not hinder her in any way. We tried a different brand and version prior to this one, this one is way superior and worth the extra money you may spend on other brands and styles. Will plan on ordering another one or two just to have on hand in case more than one hen is injured at a time. ... show more

  • Great coverage!
Color: Green
The media could not be loaded. My friend bought these saddles and I loved how they worked on her chickens, so when my girl started getting picked on I knew I wanted to buy from outback. The feature that really drew me in was the flaps to cover the wings! It’s also great that it can be worn with or without the flaps. The material of the entire saddle feels really sturdy, even the wing flaps, which I thought would be thin and flimsy but they are not. Very easy to put on, especially on my Opal, who probably likes to be handled the least in my flock. She did panic and ran around when I first put it on her. So I took it off and put it on her after she went into the coop for the night. That seemed to be a lot easier on her. She came out the next morning much less worried. Although there would be moments where she realized she was wearing it and would run a lap around the yard😂 She’s been wearing it for about 5 days and she seems completely fine now. Doesn’t seem to be too tight around her wings, she’s able to use her wings, and she even could dust bathe in it! Overall I am SUPER happy with this saddle and would buy again!!! ... show more
