Okay tell me is this crazy. Contemplating knitting Carl a chicken jumper.
I'm a little concerned that being so skinny (should be 3kg was 1.4kg last time I weighed her last week) she won't have enough body fat to be keeping warm in this cold weather.
Our coop is very well ventilated to help keep it cool in summer when I renovated. So toying with either knitting her a jumper or covering the large ventilation areas with shade mesh. Thinking will still allow air movement but would be better than the bare wire that is there now.
Thoughts?
As a little update on her, she is locked up with winry and food till lunchtime (as she just eats dirt if I let her wander in the run) and then I let them all out in the backyard for the afternoon. Her poops have finally moved on from none or dark green up digested grass looking to bright yellow soft ones much the same as you get when you change them onto a new type of feed in a hurry. Hoping that is because she is now eating enough of the crumble and other high protien foods to rate as a change in food. Yesterday's was the most solid looking in over a month.
Despite all this she is still full of beans. Hubby pulled some weeds out of the garden bed so I though I'd hose it so they wouldn't scratch up the plants. She of course decided that mud tasted even better than dirt sigh. I'm trying to lay wire over it and she is squeezing under the wire while I'm trying. Had to pull her out about six times before I could get it down lol. The other are all nervous about the sheet of wire I'm waving about but not Carl![]()
I think knitting Carl A jumper would be a great idea if you think she is still to under weight.
