This is the funniest thing I've read all day, hands down.

Imagine, Flashdance chicken! "She's a maniac, maniac...."

Unless they had extensive feather loss, I can't imagine anyone putting coats on chickens! Their torsos are totally insulated from the cold.

Now, if they said they were putting a hat on to cover a big comb from frostbite or little boots to protect toes, that I could see being useful!

ROTFL -- am envisioning really cute, comb-shaped knitted hats, with a tiny pompom on top of course...

I think the hat style with ear flaps and the little string to tie under their beaks would be nice and warm, plus help them stay on. Definitely a pompom on top! With the matching leg warmers, that would be so attractive!

Ahhh, yes, I HAVE seen the Jumpers for Rescue Hens, but that was for very very bedraggled battery hens.... due to feather loss.

But my mind has already envisioned the pom-pom topped little cold-weather, strap-secured hats. Is that scary or what???
