Hen Holster Bird Diaper/Harness (chicken diaper, duck diaper, pigeon diaper with Removable Vinyl Liner)

Durable Hen Holster® Bird Diaper with Removable Vinyl Liner – All-in-One Indoor Solution

Experience the perfect blend of simplicity and durability for your indoor birds—including chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, and large parrots spending time cage-free indoors. Unlike traditional bird diapers, our innovative Hen Holster® features a removable semi-rigid, fully liquid-tight vinyl liner that provides a structured pouch to hold its shape perfectly during wear. Proudly handmade in the USA, this system allows you to swap liners in seconds for effortless rinsing and drying, making it the ultimate solution for full-time indoor care, therapy birds, and poultry shows.

Choose Your Style: Wrap-Around vs. Bikini

To ensure your bird has the best experience, we offer two distinct styles tailored to their activity level and species:

• Wrap-Around Style: Wraps around the tail securely. Mandatory for Ducks & Geese (who have wet droppings) and great for active chickens who need extra containment.
• Bikini Style: A lighter, "bikini bottom" diaper that sits comfortably below the tail. This style features two adjustable straps and leaves the oil gland uncovered, making it perfect for chickens who preen frequently. Note: The Bikini style is not suitable for ducks or geese and is less forgiving of sizing issues.

Tips for a Perfect Fit & Success

Liner Logic: Our patented vinyl liner holds its shape to prevent leaks and can be rinsed and wiped dry instantly—no need to wash the whole diaper every time!

Looks Small? Try it on! The design is meant to be snug to prevent leaks. Many owners think it looks too small out of the package—please try it on your bird first!

Secure Fastening: For fluffy birds, smooth the feathers down where the straps sit to get the most secure Velcro grip. Ensure straps are snug but allow one finger to slide underneath.

First Time User? Choose Wrap-Around! If you are new to diapers or unsure of size, the Wrap-Around style is much more adjustable and forgiving than the Bikini style.

⚠️ MUST KNOW: Success for Chickens, Pigeons & Pet Birds

The "Statue" Phase: When you first put a harness on a bird, they often freeze or walk backwards. This is normal! Give them treats and 24 hours to adjust; they will soon forget they are wearing it.

STOP: Watch the "Perfect Fit" Video Before First Use!
90% of "leaks" happen because the pouch is fastened too loosely. The diaper cannot slip if wrapped snugly. Watch the video in the FAQ tab below to see exactly how to angle the pouch and overlap the sides securely.
