Look who got chicken socks!

[Soon2BChixMom]

I wonder, has anybody found a good pattern for socks that go on chickens? Seems like that would be nice, to keep their feet warm, if you could get them to stay on. I'd also thought of a kind of hat, that covered the comb, but was designed to go back behind the eye, come down, and have a sack the waddles went in, then maybe tie it with a string. It'd sure look interesting! I wonder if other chickens would just peck at it though....

I never know if some responses are jokes or just real curiosity here on byc. I am new to chickens and byc. However, if someone did put socks on their chickens, wouldn’t that harbor moisture from poos and might result in worse conditions than cold feet (bumblefoot for one)? Plus, it seems like they might get caught on things around the coop which could be disastrous for the bird. Unless they are house birds, then I guess the environment might be more conducive to a chicken wearing socks. Which would be a sight to see!
I have seen the therapeutic foot pads for chickens posted on some of the threads here, so I guess socks aren’t a far stretch from that.
I have also seen people put hats on their chickens, but I thought it was just for a photo op.
If this is just a bit of sarcasm, my bad, but I know there are lots of newbies who would love to think of their feathered friends all warm and toasty sitting in their coop with socks on.
My husband frequently reminds me that these are farm animals and I haven’t gotten this crazy to go searching for socks for chickens ... yet.

No, I was serious. But your right, the socks might not be the best idea. This morning it was 5 degrees outside. I have a heat lamp on the chickens, and I put extra hay on the ground for their feet. They just look so cold!

I feel for my chickies too. But, they are outside animals and with the right set up, they will be fine!

Brrr that's to cold that's give me coffee and blanket weather
