These Chickens Are Wearing Sweaters!!

/ by

I didn’t know this but people make SWEATERS for their CHICKENS! From what I understand, chickens lose feathers during molting and can get cold (from, you know, FOWL weather). So, their human friends have started making sweaters so they stay warm.

Take a LOOK!

This little number is made for little chickens (petite or bantam) by Shar Bunde of ChickenSnackShop. She says it’s for the “sophisticated chicken” who “likes fashion and enjoys going to town looking fashionable and chic.”

In other words, ALL CHICKENS.

It’s made of 100% cotton and it’s available for $24.99.

This one, made by Erin Langston of Whimsyof Willows, is for a hen and it’s more of a jumper than a full sweater. Besides keeping hens warmer, she says it also protects hens from “unruly roosters.”
