Knitted Chicken Sweaters for Battery Hens

Here’s one of the recipients in his Knitted Sweater at Lee Valley Park Farms. The hens arrived from the British Hen Welfare Trust.

They are recovering with the help of warm knitted jumpers, made by members of the public. This little guy arrived with 2 Meerkats and 23 Battery Hens.

The Helping Hands knitting circle have been making jumpers for bald chickens across the country. Ann Duran, 55 took pity on Hens left featherless after being rescued from a battery farm.

She came up with eggs-actly the right answer to keep them warm hand-knitted tanktops. Ann said: “Some people think I am crazy but I didn’t like to think of chickens shivering through winter.

“Enjoying a fashionable stroll around the chook pen”

“Jane Blaine, of Eynsham said when a friend first asked her to knit jumpers for chickens she thought it was a joke!”

A mother and daughter in Cornwall, England, is knitting and selling sweaters for rescued battery hens, who spend most of their lives laying eggs in cramped cages. They’re donating proceeds to an AIDS orphanage in South Africa.
