I agree with those that are against it, using a chicken sweater to keep your hen warm will only cause stress and heightens the risk for potential injury. BUT keep in mind that my chickens have grown up with them (some in my flock tend to pluck) and are completely fine and happy. I’d suggest using it in a way that actively helps the chickens and not just for recreation. Enjoy and happy chicken sweater-making 🙂

This is not a terrible idea if applied correctly. I live in Canada, and our temperatures are getting down to -20 at night. I also have two leghorns that are going through a hard molt. They have completely naked patches and I can see them visibly shivering. My other birds are also picking at their new feather casings. I would find a couple of these extremely useful for those specific Birds until their feathers have an opportunity to come in properly. Under normal circumstances, with healthy Birds these are completely unnecessary but there are very specific applications where these could be extremely useful and potentially life-saving.

For a healthy bird, this is harmful and unnecessary. Humans anthropmorphise animals. Nature designed them well. Humans need to step back.

In reply to Liz. Have u ever seen any bird/chicken injured, in shock, had its feathers burnt off? Wildlife rescuers use them all the time!

A reminder to anyone who thinks this is a bad idea…
Aside from those chickens who live in cold climates…
Australia have been burning wildfires (most deliberately lit) since November 2019, in those fires are MANY animals harmed by said fires including domestic pets such as CHICKENS who have had their feathers burnt!
If u have nothing positive to say…. SAY NOTHING!

Oh my gosh people. Give me a break. There always has to be someone to jump on the hate band wagon about everything. If you don’t like it … move on!

To all of the Naysayers,
Have you lost your sense of humor? Getting a “Chicken Sweater” would be hilarious ? for any chicken ? owner. Especially if the pattern is included for the receiver to make more. So use your leftover yarns and consider being the life of a chicken parent party ?. Relax…. it’s funny.
