The Hen Saver protects hens' backs from roosters; prevents feather loss and cuts and gashes that can lead to picking, cannibalism and death in both domestic and commercial flocks; cover areas of feather loss and wounds to promote healing and feather re-growth; and provide potential protection against hawks by reducing their ability to grasp chickens. The Hen Saver is proudly made in the USA. Unique features that add to the functionality and durability of the apron include a notch at the base to accommodate the hen's tail feathers, two strap styles, finished-seam stitching that secures a layer of breathable batting between two layers of rip-, tear- and puncture-resistant material and optional fixed or removable shoulder protector. The double-strap style is intended for more active chickens. Some chickens cannot tolerate the straps crossing their chests. Those chickens would need a single strap Hen Saver. This single strap style works like a backpack and is easier to put on the chicken and more comfortable for the chicken to wear, but some chickens may be able to remove the apron. Aprons are available with strong double-layer shoulder protectors that are either permanently fixed onto the apron or attached with Velcro. LARGE fits most standard breed hens and small roosters, MEDIUM fits most bantam breed hens and SMALL fits shorter backed or thicker tailed bantams (Silkiest, etc.). Extra Large fits most standard breed roosters and large hens and Extra Large fits most large standard roosters and turkeys.
