Low-Cost Vinyl "Chicken Saddle"

Low-Cost Vinyl Chicken Saddle LIVESTOCK Miscellaneous “Our new chicken saddle is much tougher than old-style saddles and much cheaper selling for as little as 75 cents per bird Made out of puncture-resistant vinyl it’s almost like putting armor on your chickens ” says David Marsz Conifer Colo The chicken saddle covers the chicken’s back and has holes in it where you fit the bird’s wings through to hold it in place “It protects the hens’ backs from rooster claws and spurs during mating and if the hen has already been pecked the saddle covers the raw area giving it time to heal Meanwhile the rooster can still go about its business ” says Marsz “Old-style chicken saddles perform a similar function However since they’re made of canvas or cloth with elastic straps they’re not made to last Moreover clasps and certain fabric designs attract even more pecking behavior You can use a permanent marker to draw eye-spots on our vinyl saddle to scare off predators ” The chicken saddle comes in 2 sizes small and medium/large and both sell for $2 50 apiece S&H included For orders of 100 or more they sell for as low as 75 cents S&H included Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Jill Marsz P O Box 1044 Conifer Colo 80433 ph 303 697-1504; growyourbrew@yahoo com
