chuckmum6 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) https://www.omlet.co.uk/shop/chicken_keeping/chicken_jackets/16728/yellow_high-vis_chicken_jacket/ Maybe I am missing something, but why do chickens need this????? Will there be a range of fashion items for hens? Unless the girls are going to be trained as builders - in which case they need little hard hats and low slung jeans - I just don't see the point.

Olly Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Is it April Fool's Day? It's not as if they're going to free range in the dark, is it! I can't imagine why you'd want one. Or six, in my case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Why did the chicken cross the road? To scare the bejeezus out of unsuspecting car drivers who think it's a person a long way away, only to find it's something much smaller and closer!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Note : Please note, the High-Vis Chicken Jacket is not suitable as pyjamas - please remove at night. I sense a gap in the market - chicken pyjamas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

good_egg Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I love the idea of hard hats to match.... That might keep mine a little less accident prone! Maybe it's so when the chooks cycle they can be seen!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I can see a use for it as a chicken saddle to protect from over-amorous cockerels, but not sure I'll be rushing to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simondegaris Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The saddles are real and are used! The tend to use them when you have a cock, and if he is how should i put it...over amourous while mating and showing dominace he will pull feathers from the chickens back or cause scratches. The saddle goes over the back to help protect the hens from this! They also look quite comical on, especially on the grumpy chickens who are most grumpy at having them on!

Chickabee Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yes, but if you read why omlet are selling the, it's to keep your chickens warm, so you can see them in the dark, and so they're safe crossing the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's not a poultry saddle, not nearly enough padding or protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
