Chicken Sweaters

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.

    We have 5 red chickens on our patch of suburbia. We started raising chickens in 1999, just to be different, and to give our kids some extra responsibilities. Well, the kids are all gone now, but we keep on keepin’ chickens, giving eggs away willy-nilly. But I must say, it has NEVER crossed my mind to dress them up (in clothes that is). My husband says your sweetie has set the gift-giving bar WAY too high now 🙂

    Oh, I would love to win a chicken sweater. But not so sure my chickens would like it, but that’s okay. If I win, someone gets to wear it.

    That’s so thoughtful of your husband! My husband, believe it or not, also made “sweaters” for some of our hens two years ago when the rooster was plucking out too many feathers from their backs and they were getting sunburns! His solution was sweaters made from old t-shirt sleeves. And, guess what, it worked! 🙂

    I have a friend that calls her chickens “her girls.” She just loves them, and keeps them even if they are molting. If ever there was a person that would put a sweater on a chicken, it would be Lisa. She and her husband have been blessed by a 4 year old daughter they adopted 2 years ago named Hannah, who would absolutely giggle to see this on her chickens.

    How sweet Karrie! Now your lucky ladies can stay warm in that cold WA weather! We got a special Christmas present this year as our sweet girls decided to start laying 2 months early! (Easter Eggers are notoriously late layers and we weren’t expecting eggs until February. Imagine our surprise when our son comes in Christmas Eve Eve morning with a freshly laid chicken egg! OH HAPPY DAY!) Since then we have collected 10 eggs- it’s been really exciting!

    Anyway, hope you and yours had an especially Merry Christmas and I loved your post. Proud of that hubby of yours for doing something so thoughtful. Go ahead and enter me in the contest because even though they’ll probably ‘fight’ over it, now that my girls are laying- one of them at least deserves a ‘special gift’!

    I just called my husband in to see your pics, and I told him what a nice husband you had for thinking of your chickens at Christmas. He laughed at the photos, but had to admit they looked pretty cute. He then told me that he had given our girls all extra treats on Christmas morning, so I
    guess I have to let him off the hook…..HO HO HO

    I had 4 chickens and now only have one, Matilda. She is so funny and brings me much joy. Her best friend is my fox hound, Scout. She has a chicken house but will not sleep in in so she roosts every night on the pole from my garden where I grew pole beans in the summer. I worry about her every night because it has been so cold. I pray for the Lord to send angels to protect her and keep her warm. I think she would really like a new sweater to help ward off the winter chill.

    I would love to have a chicken sweater. My cousin who also happens to be my best friends has Chickens and this is right up her alley. She loves her chickens.. Her favorite one, Jemimah, would come in the house to visit. She was so cute..

    How precious are those sweaters!! Your hens are so cute!
    We started our spring with 10 sweet chicken babies and are now reduced to two lovely hens (foxes, skunks, and hawks, oh my!!). And these two gorgeous girls (a Rhode Island Red and White Bantam) would look so darling in their own sweaters!!
