Space Chick Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Can I ask why! If its for ex batts or moulting girls they really dont need them as it can damage the new quills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sometimes jumpers, although sound like a good idea, can do more bad than good. It could irritate the bird, and be dangerous if they got it caught. And surely it would damage the growing feathers, really not needed, maybe a extra layer of bedding.

Egluntyne Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The BHWT don't recommend them. They get filthy and so harbour bacteria, and can cause accidents if the snag on fencing etc. If you have a particularly bald hen, she would be better off being kept in a sheletered environment until her feathers start to regrow. A **Snugglesafe** is another option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
