No rooster, I live in suburb but I noticed the ladies sometimes go on top of one another. I always wanted to get her a little sweater but I could never find one!
Some hens are tomboyish … I once had one of those. It’s a sign of dominance in hens. Your poor girl is probably bottom of the pecking order.
 
Very good point. I haven’t even seen no-sew ones made out of fleece.
Really?! My only concern with those would be that they would get dirtier easier. Even though the saddle is on the hen, the other hens will still keep on humping. As all of us proud chicken owners know, they tend to get very… umm… messy feet…
 
Just out of curiosity... Why no to a sweater?

probably because I am more of a knitter than a seamstress, it was my first thought as I was reading this thread.

Is it a heat issue?
They can't preen well in a sweater, they can get hung up/stuck in it with their feet, or a hanging hook.
