DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS Chicken Carrier Sling, Medium Canvas Bag with Adjustable Strap

The DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS Chicken Carrier Sling Holder Bag in Medium is designed to hold poultry for show preparation, farm transport and care, and is made from 14 oz (397 g) canvas.

• Adjustable 25–50 in (64–127 cm) strap and secure hook — suspend the sling at a useful height for preparation or treatment.
• Three sizes, Small, Medium and Large — choose a size for birds ranging from Bantams to Brahmas with the sizing chart.
• Vent-free design — leaves the bird’s vent clear while it is held in the sling.
• Machine washable canvas — clean the sling after use.
• Custom feather design — adds a distinctive pattern to the chicken holder.

Preparing a chicken for a show, tending to a foot or trimming nails can be easier when the bird is held securely at a workable height. This sling is also made for carrying or transporting a chicken around the farm or to a country fair, so it serves both preparation and handling needs.

What can I use the chicken sling for?

The sling can hold a chicken for show preparation, foot treatment, nail clipping or rooster spur removal, as well as farm and country fair transport. Its purpose is to support practical handling while you work with the bird.

• Prepare poultry for a show.
• Use it for care involving a hen’s foot or nails.
• Carry or transport a chicken around the farm or at a fair.

How does the sling hold a chicken at a useful height?

An adjustable strap and secure hook let you suspend the chicken sling at the height you need for preparation or treatment. The strap adjusts from approximately 25 to 50 inches (64 to 127 cm).

For medical or leg treatment, the vent-free design allows the chicken to remain in the carrier for longer periods without risking further injury. The sling is intended to keep the vent clear, so it does not need washing every time the chicken defecates.

• Suspend the sling using its hook.
• Adjust the strap to set the working height.

What size should I choose, and what is it made from?

This listing is for the Medium sling; the range also comes in Small and Large. The three sizes are intended for birds from Bantams to Brahmas, and the sizing chart helps you choose the appropriate option for your bird.

The sling uses the same 14 oz canvas as DOWN UNDER OUTDOORS chicken saddles and features the brand’s custom feather design. When cleaning is needed, the sling is machine washable. For show preparation, use it outdoors or place a mat underneath that can be hosed down.

• Available sizes: Small, Medium and Large.
• Compare your bird with the sizing chart when choosing a size.
• For outdoor cleanup, a hose-down mat is an option.

This Medium chicken sling suits poultry keepers who need a holder for show preparation, routine handling, transport or treatment, and who want an adjustable hanging setup. Its canvas construction, hook-and-strap suspension and vent-free design make it a practical fit for those uses.
