actually I know what thiose are for - and it's usually turkey saddles BTW. ummm ... without getting into graphic detail lets just say its a marital aid for the rooster :) I don't know how much yall know about chicken sex - but sometimes they have trouble uhhhh keeping connected snicker and the 'saddle' helps. Really! I grew up on an exotic poultry farm :) We had 'wild' turkeys, quail, partridge, guinea fowl, pheasent, ducks, swans, geese and peacocks. There's a reason I'm not a vegetarian - it's a grudge.
