The Hen Saver® is the original, patented #1 rated chicken saddle — the most trusted hen apron for protecting backyard hens from rooster mating damage, feather loss, and back injuries since 2009. Designed by a PhD scientist who lives and works with 89 rescue chickens daily, every Hen Saver® style reflects 15+ years of real-world flock experience.

Unlike imported, one-size chicken saddles with short wing covers, the Hen Saver® is handmade in the USA in five sizes — from bantams to large breeds — with 7¼" wing covers that reach the wing base where rooster spurs actually grip. Available in Standard, Standard with Shoulder Protectors, Ultra-Light Mesh, and Mesh with Shoulder Protectors to match every hen's needs and every climate.

🐔 Find Your Hen's Perfect Style:
Standard — the original patented chicken saddle for year-round protection in all climates · Standard with Shoulder Protectors — extended coverage for severe rooster damage at the wing base, shoulders, and neck · Ultra-Light Mesh — breathable summer chicken saddle for Texas, Florida, Arizona, and hot-climate flocks · Mesh with Shoulder Protectors — maximum coverage + zero overheating for severe damage in hot climates
