   This is a terrible idea. Chickens don’t need sweaters to stay warm. Like wild birds (who also don’t have sweaters!), chickens fluff their feathers to trap warm air next to their bodies. Also, chickens sleep in nice dry, draft-free coops at night. Please don’t perpetuate the idea of chicken sweaters…

   This is extremely bad for chickens, and irresponsible of you to spread the idea that birds need sweaters.
   I’ve seen this posted in several Facebook groups with many people showing interest in making these for their chickens, which horrified me. The result will be suffering chickens. If you cover their feathers they can’t fluff them up to insulate themselves. When they moult and the feathers grow back it can be very painful for them to be touched. The only circumstance a sweater might be helpful is in a rescue bird who has lost its feathers through injury or neglect – clearly not like the chicken in your advert. I have rescue chickens and have been given this advice through the rescue organusation. Consult an expert yourself if you don’t believe me.
   Please consider the suffering you may cause with this publication and remove it – better still inform people of the truth.
