hello. I have a little dutch bantam hen named Golden Ticket. she will be 12 this summer! because of her old age, she is quite frail and gets cold easily. I live in the pacific northwest and therefor our winters are very harsh and cold. she is a tiny little thing, even for a bantam, and i am very worried about her well-being this winter. so, i was thinking about making a "chicken cozy/snuggy". i saw one on youtube or somthing once. something that would cover her body, but not restrict her movement, all while keeping her warm. she and her flock mates are free range birds, so i would have to make it so it wouldendt get snagged on something. or is there another alternitve for keeping her warm in winter? any sugestions would be welcomed.

One of my chicken magazines were just talking about chicken sweaters..type it into google and you can find a lot!
 
Just make sure whatever you get her to wear is light and not snug. They need to be able to fluff up their feathers to trap air to keep themselves warm. Congradulations on the senior hen. You must be doing a great job taking care of her!
