I put saddles on 2 of my girls about a month ago as they were being trod too often by Thatcher.  How long should I leave them on for?

Sorry I don't know Prod but I would have thought that it needs to be off every now and again to make it easier for the feather regrowth.  I don't know what setup you have, but you could try keeping one of them away from his attentions for a few hours to let the fresh air at their backs.

Hopefully someone with more experience will let you know what they do.

Thanks  I know he is still treading them as I de-spured him and used purple spray and that's on the saddles.  Ive just finished building my duck enclosure so I will put the 2 ugly sisters in there during the day, without their saddles, and let them into their own coop at night  See how I get on.  Thanks once again for replies/advice.

The feathers will only re-grow at moulting time.
