Title: Turkey Saddles - where to buy??
Post by: bj_cardiff on May 21, 2017, 01:01:47 pm

Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere that sells Turkey Saddles? I've never needed one before but this year my Stag has been very active and hurt one of the hens.. I've found one on Ebay, but would like to seea couple before I buy. Thanks

Have you checked his claws?  The tips can get quite long and start to twist, which does damage.  I got a canvas saddle from flysofancy.co.uk, which worked well.  I got rid of that stag at the end of the season, though.
