Upgrade your Hen Saver with Wing Armor, the rigid shoulder protector that easily swaps with the fabric one. No more neck loops needed - Wing Armor is only compatible with Hen Savers with Removable Shoulder Protectors and offers better protection for your chickens.
Because the double-strap style crosses the chicken’s chest, it take most chickens time to get used to. Some customers refer to this time as “waiting for the backwards circus to end.”

Here are the written instructions:
The single-strap Hen Saver® secures to your chicken like a backpack: pull the left loop of the strap over your chicken’s left wing and the right loop over the right wing. Check that the straps are not caught in any feathers and be sure to center the apron on the strap so that it sits squarely on your chicken.

Here are the written instructions:
The double-strap Hen Saver® is secured by placing your chicken’s head through the loops made by the intersection of the two straps and then pulling the left strap over the left wing, and the right strap over the right wing. Be sure to keep a finger between the straps and the chicken’s throat while you pull the straps over the wings so as not to inadvertently choke the chicken. Check that the straps are not caught in any feathers.
Put the apron on first, and then pull the strap on the shoulder protector over your chicken’s head.

Our copyrighted, digitally-printed eyes were designed by us with the help of a raptor expert. They are designed to look like owl eyes. Owls and Hawks are natural enemies and they do not share territory. They have worked 100% where tested, but results might vary depending on regional location.
Yes! Here is a sampling:
"I wanted to write and tell you that I purchased three of your Hen Saver saddles about a month ago. My hens' backs and shoulders were pretty bare from the rooster. After wearing the Hen Saver for only a month, all three hens are growing their feathers back. It took about two days for them to get used to the saddle, but now they are completely comfortable with it. I'm very happy with your product and with the fact that it has saved my hens' backs & shoulders. All in all, a great product. Thanks again."
"Just wanted you to know, I received my order of hen savers today. Thanks for the speedy response. "THE GIRLS" got their aprons put on and after the backwards circus was over, I can see where these will be just the ticket for them. One thing I noticed right away was how they fit so well that they cover the exact areas that had been worn and raw. Perfect also because winter has really set in here in Montana."
My chicken is walking backwards (or lying down, or doing back flips, or rolling over…). What should I do?
The double-strap style crosses the chicken’s chest, which takes most chickens time to get used to. Some customers refer to this time as “waiting for the backwards circus to end.” First, be sure the straps of the apron are not too tight. If they are, you need a larger size. If the straps fit well, but your chicken is uncomfortable with the straps crossing her chest, or her antics cause other chickens to peck her, she needs a single-strap model.
The Hen Saver® is falling to the side. What should I do?
Make sure the apron is centered on the straps and on the chicken. You may have to adjust it periodically. The single-strap model is more accommodating of size issues and almost never slides around. The double strap, if it is too large, will flop to the side. If the apron is flopping to the side you need a single-strap model or a smaller size double-strap model.
The Hen Saver® is lifting up. What should I do?
This is normal. The Hen Saver® is intended to lift up when your chicken flaps her wings. This is so that air can circulate under the apron and to enable your chicken to successfully take a dirt bath. If the apron stands up and stays up, the apron is either too small for your hen or too wide between her shoulders. You need a different size.
Well made, quality materials.
My cat loves going for walks and this harness keeps him snugly secured to a leash! He was a little spooked by the velcro sound the first several times I took the harness off, and he wasn't too sure about wearing it early one but once he learned the harness meant he gets to go outside he adapted pretty quickly.
My cats HATE harnesses and are very very good at getting them off. They have taken a liking to these ones in only two days time! They are so comfortable in them they were roaming the yard, running and jumping after 15 minutes putting them on for the first time. It is incredibly light weight and steam lined. The cats have a great amount of space around the arm holes. No rubbing or chafing. The Velcro is so strong they won't be able to rub it off. And, the Velcro band is large allowing plenty of room for the cats gain and lose weight in it comfortably. I recommend this to anyone who has cats that hate harnesses or are very good at escaping them.
Finally a harness that my cat cant escape from! Great product
Secure and stylish. My kitten loves going out for walks with this kitty holster.
What a wonderful product. My cat loves it. I had the first one I bought for nearly four years, and just bought a new one. Highly recommended!
I bought one of the diapers for my white Chinese goose and it just didn’t work- when I contacted the company to return they told me about the version with the chest tab. I tried that one and IT IS PERFECT! The customer service is top notch and I’m genuinely thrilled with the product. 10/10 recommend the product and company :)
best harness i've ever had, the first harness my cat has accepted
I’ve bought these harnesses for years. I now have one for my cat and one for the dog. These are made exceptionally well and great quality. I never have a fear of either of them slipping out of it or it coming undone. I highly recommend these harnesses.
This works great! Easy to use and great quality.
My Sapphire Gem hen, Chloe, had a partial crop obstruction. It was very large and hard and initially it was thought that surgery may be the only option. However, my veterinarian supported a non-surgical plan prior to proceeding with surgery. With her guidance, we provided medication twice daily (antibiotic and a motility medication), small, frequent meals (exact food recommended by the veterinarian) water, and massage throughout the day. However, she also highly recommended that I purchase the Birdy Bra from Crazy K Farm Pet and Poultry. She even brought up the website, to show me, during our visit.
I purchased this on Amazon but Tobi, the Founder of Crazy K Farm, reached out to me to let me that she was managing the order, which was incredibly helpful, I relayed the urgency of the situation and she assured me that she would get this to me as soon as possible.
I ordered a few of them but read that, for an obstruction, the tie-on was the best style. My hen, who did not like being held prior to this issue, sat on my lap while I put this on her. That said, you may need help from someone when first putting it on. I also watched the instructional video, a few times, which was very helpful and used the method of putting it under Chloe’s wings and through her legs. Albeit she did not relish walking in it initially but she was crated during this time and she did get used to it.
I reached out to Tobi, several times, with questions and she was incredibly helpful and responsive. I felt like I had great support from her on the use and expectations of this item. I would recommend ordering directly from Crazy K Farm because there are different styles and sizes and Tobi can help guide which to purchase and answer any questions.
After continued veterinarian oversight (two weeks) we were nearing a place when we thought surgery may be still indicated, when the obstruction started to resolve. It took approximately three weeks to resolve fully but we were able to avert surgery. I told my veterinarian and Tobi; I feel strongly that the Birdy Bra was an integral factor with the obstruction resolving. The Birdy Bra holds the crop in a way that supports and promotes emptying. After Chloe started to wear this, I could feel some slow but gradual movement with the obstruction. To note, once the obstruction resolved, I weaned her from wearing the Bra by keeping it on her only at night and then gradually keeping it off, after she had transitioned back onto her regular diet, again under the direction of the veterinarian.
I cannot say enough about this product or how responsive, kind, and helpful Tobi is. When I told Tobi that it had resolved and I was reintegrating Chloe into her small flock, she shared her happiness and relief in hearing this.
I would highly recommend this product, along with management from an avian veterinarian and of course support, from Tobi, as needed. I am attaching a picture of Chloe wearing the gray flannel tie-on, in a medium size. Thank you so much Tobi and Crazy K Farm Pet and Poultry and Chloe thanks you too!!
Very well made products. Should fit most normal sized chickens, but too large for bantams.
We were adopted by Kitten who showed up under our shed 4 1/2 years ago in December.
I purchased her first Kitty Holster that spring and we've been walking happily together ever since.
There are many things that might like to bite us where we live, Eagles, Hawks, Coyotes, Bobcats and most importantly Rattlesnakes and the Kitty Holster has enabled us to move about with relative safety. In fact it has saved us a couple of times from a rattlesnake hiding under the brush.
It's a great product, strong, comfortable and beautifully made.
It was easy to train Kitten because it is so comfortable and I look forward to her wearing the new mesh holster that we just ordered.
I bought the duck/chicken diaper with removable liner. We love it so much and it allows us to take care of our only duck rescue, Disco. She's a year old now and living a good duck life. Thank you so much!
Fits well!
