Oh my goodness, this is adorable!!!! I need to knit myself some of those. Royd, would you like me to knit some for your hens as well ???

I'm thinking of spike high heels, to give them those sexy legs.

Y'all do realize that, in spite of the unfortunate term "bra", the crop bra does have a specific purpose of helping hens plagued by pendulous crop, right? Pendulous crop is when the crop musculature is so loose and stretched that it does not process food well. I just lost a hen who had suffered with pendulous crop all her life, but it never malfunctioned until her last molt. Not sure if a crop bra would have saved her, but it does have a real purpose, not just to play "dress-up" with your chicken.

I also had to have my great pyreness shaved down due to ticks this year. I had the shave down done at the vet's office and per the vet's instructions I had to put sunscreen on my livestock guardian dog for several weeks until her hair grew back enough to cover her skin well enough to prevent suncreen...
