Announcement
In 2011, our beloved chicken died. It wasn't a natural death. She'd died from her mating injuries. We were devastated. We were aware of hen saddles but were unable to afford them for a flock of over 80. We were also unwilling to sew them ourselves and to maintain them (ewww...)
But we needed something. After brainstorming and testing different patterns and no-sew materials, we came up with our own patent-pending design that only needed to be hosed clean. We tested it on our flock for another year and decided that there was a micro-niche to be filled - Chicken Armor® was born.
Since then, Chicken Armor® has been mentioned in publications larger and small including The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Denver Post, Mother Earth News and Backyard Poultry Magazine. We've sold over 35,000 saddles worldwide - to all 50 states, Canada, the UK, Australia, Norway, Denmark, France, Turkey and South Africa.
Customer satisfaction is my top priority so if you have any questions or concerns, please send me a message and I'll do my best to make things right! We are so grateful for our customers and to be a part of your chicken keeping adventures.

1 out of 5 starsI have to leave an unfortunate review. Three messages went unanswered over the weeks that I waited. The items I ordered were never shipped. Etsy customer service helped me with my refund. I do hope that the seller is safe and in good health.

5 out of 5 starsMy hens had their backs plucked from having too many roosters earlier in the year, and their back feathers were not regrowing even though I reduced to a single rooster. I imagine they may have been plucking the new feathers themselves from itchiness. I found out about this product and figured it was worth a try. I'm happy to say their backs are no longer red and swollen and their feathers are beginning to grow back. The standard size fit my birds perfectly and I would definitely recommend this product!

1 out of 5 starsNot even a one star for these Chicken saddles. My Buffs are regular sized girls and there is no way these fit on them and if they did the portion of the back that the rooster hits is not even covered. Want a refund.

5 out of 5 starsThey worked okay in a pinch but most of my flock ended up needing wing protection, as well as back protection. So I use these on my roo's least favorite girls. Easy to put on and work as advertised.

5 out of 5 starsHi, I received my chicken saddles a few days ago and they seem to be working really well so far! A really simple design that is very easy to clean, and my hens have not managed to escape them like they have with the cloth ones! I'm very happy with the value of my purchase as well, as I received 10 of these chicken saddles for the price of one cloth one. Great product!

4 out of 5 starsThe chicken armor came as described. They were reasonably easy to put on, considering chickens never really like being dressed at the best of times! Once on, the hens soon grew used to them and are able to move naturally and preen themselves around it. They stay clean most of the time and I haven't had to wash any of them yet. They offer some protection for my hens from the roosters and helped one of our hens survive being grabbed by a fox. I'd give five stars to this product if it had a wider flap at the back, for example a t-shape, as our hens are still getting scratched either side of the saddle, on the ribs, by the roosters. The hen that survived the fox attack was injured in the area where the back of the saddle lifts up. All in all an excellent idea, well worth the price, and I hope ChickenArmor continues to develop it!

5 out of 5 starsSo far, these are staying on my birds better than fabric saddles did. They were easy enough to put on them, too.
