Merry Christmas everyone!
What are all the cool chickens getting this year? Sweaters Oh yeah. That’s right. Sweaters for my chickens.
Most people would have considered this gift a silly or strange gift. I got this from the happy husband and it really just shows to me how much he really loves me and my country homesteading dreams. He knows that my heart goes to my little farm animals. Plus he loves to make me laugh. And believe me I laughed my butt off. It was hilarous to see these chickens trying to walk around and get used to their sweaters.
You see he asked a really nice lady at his work if she would make some for me a few months ago. Which shows some thought and consideration which is good since for first 10 years of our marriage he would shop on Christmas Eve for a gift for me . It seems like he has been getting a little bit more thoughtful the past few years. It’s so sweet. I love that man of mine.
These little chicken sweaters are made with little velcro tabs that connect behind their wings and a little hole for their heads to go through.
And I love the little pom poms to add to the Holiday spirit of things.
I am not going to tell you the chickens enjoyed wearing them. They were a bit silly looking that is for sure. They seemed a bit off balance when we first put them on too.
Well, I hope you got what you wanted for Christmas this year.
And I bet you are wishin’ it was chicken sweaters too.

That is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. My Dad has chickens (he calls them “the girls”) and would LOVE that!!

I think the chicken sweater should go to Tiffany for her little bird that needs to be warm,lol! I have NO chickens, just an old tom cat that might enjoy torturing them. Good Luck to all!

Would love to get a sweater for my future chickens.
I’ll be moving soon, and chickens will be among my first new pets. They’ll be the talk of the town in their finery! Lol

These are adorable. I would love to try them on my chickens. I have a little in in particular that might actual enjoy this as she is always pushing herself under the others to stay warm lol.

That is so true about the last minute shopping! The first 10 years my husband would scramble to buy me anything for Christmas but this year, he as well, put more effort into it by shopping early.
I love the chicken sweaters. My sister lives on a farm and I was wanting to get her one.
Liz says
Beautiful! One of our hens would look smashing in that sweater! Your pics are sooo cute!
