FAQ

When should I use a poultry saddle?

Poultry saddles are good for deterring feather pecking and for protecting new feathers as they come through, they are also useful for protecting hens from over zealous cockerels.

How long should I keep the poultry saddle on?

We recommend keeping the poultry saddle on until all the pin feathers have fully come through, this usually takes about 2-3 weeks.

What do I do if the poultry saddle does not stop feather pecking?

Get in contact with our team, you may need to make some changes in your flock dynamics or you could use some peck speck to change habitual behaviours, our chickens experts will be able to advise.

How do I wash it?

Machine washable at 30d

Will it fit my hens?

These saddles are suitable for Silkies, other medium sized hens and bantams, but not tiny bantams like Polish or Sablepoots.

 

More Info

The poultry saddle works as a barrier, protecting new feathers from pecking, or over rubbing from a busy cockerel, they also help to change pecking behaviours.

They are easy to put on, we recommend putting them on at night when the hens are sleepy and docile, you simply pop their wings through the fabric loops so the saddle sits comfortable on the hens back, these are suitable for most breeds.

“I can’t wait to purchase hens through Pipinchick in the new year!”

"Brilliant service, great products with neatly designed packaging with direct instructions on the labelling. I am treating a (formerly) paralyzed chicken with severe nutritional wry neck successfully with guidance from the Pipinchick website. Products arrived on 48hr delivery, I can't wait to purchase hens through Pipinchick in the new year!"

Janine, Sept ’22

“Pipinchick couldn’t have been more helpful”

Pipinchick couldn't have been more helpful, delivering our two friendly hens and some supplies we couldn't get hold of elsewhere. The birds have kept us entertained - and supplied with eggs - all summer long. If you are lucky enough to have a small garden I'd recommend a few chickens for everyone.
