Four of the five look like that. I have thought of the saddle however where I live (TN) it is so hot I don't think it would be a good idea. I am hoping he will be gone soon and then they can rehab.

I learn something new everyday. I never would have thought of making a saddle for a hen. Farmers are amazing. :duck: I love reading this blog! I learn something new everyday.

I read you everyday. My thought is I think you may have too many roosters. We have a bachelor coop to house the boys as they grow fat and delicious . . . well, that's the plan anyway. They get all the best scraps and STILL don't gain weight! Maybe they suspect something? Oh how I LOVE your blog! I read you everyday. My thought is I think you may have too many roosters.

Sadly he is too little to fertilize her eggs, but she is going bald in his attempts to do so. He pays attention to them all, but he loooovvvess Billie Jean.

Don't want the poor thing to get sunburned. Yep, you need to break the sewing machine in and make some chickens saddles. Don’t want the poor thing to get sunburned.

Is it because the other hens pick on her? I have only one hen that looks like that, out of 20. Is it because the other hens pick on her?

None of my adult chickens have suffered from that. I know my boys are doing their jobs, but so far no problem with the hens. Now my young birds, they look awful because of all the picking and stuff. They have bare patches down by their tails like that. I'm looking forward to extending their living quarters this weekend. Now I just need to figure out how to get 16 foot cattle panels home to make the hoop coop! I wonder why that happens to some and not to others. None of my adult chickens have suffered from that.
