A one-piece rectangular protective cape-like device worn by poultry that covers the main back of the poultry. Two opposing lateral slits are cut into the main saddle piece to form straps. The saddle holds on to the bird by pulling each wing through the respective slit. Weather-resistant material such as reinforced scrim vinyl, Tyvek or other similar material is used. Additional text, color or designs may be printed directly onto the saddle material. Close-set ocelli may be added to depict the presence of predator eyes.
