The Dogmother Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 They do them in luminous pink too Apparently in the sale - 2 for £20 You're kidding me! It's the sort of thing that a buyer gets sold as part of a deal, then has problems shifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I HAVE ONE !!! It's my Birthday today and just opened my present from my best friend...( she isn't a chicken person ) Not sure what to do with it, might try a photo shoot with the girlies, mind you seeing as they are all pretty tiny, may try on Lil as she is a black bearded silky so might make her glow in the dark. Must admit it did make me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Haha - well, I'm sure it's brought a smile to your face! I'd love to know what your friend thought you'd use it for. Maybe it's for the top chicken to wear while she's chivvying the flock into the coop every evening at dusk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Actually, my little Layla could probably do with the hi-viz top, hard hat and safety boots - then the bullies couldn't hurt her. If only . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I am expecting one as a novelty gift for Christmas, my OH works in construction and occasionally comes home wearing the whole HI Vis boots thing, he is a Manley man but stands on our garden step shouting princess layer, Betty boo, where are you? I have to admit seeing him standing there calling the girls.....I have never wanted him more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I love the pink one - very fetching, why do you have to take off at night? Do they overheat or cook or something. I would think cold winter nights are the time to stuff your chuck in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savena5630 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I love this part the most; "Quilted lining featuring Flectalon NASA approved insulating material" Just in case my pekins decide to head to the moon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Well after all you gals saying the man in your life would be calling the men in white coats if you attempted to buy this for your feathered friends I decided to see OH's reaction. I casually (as you do) said " if its a cold winter I might buy the girls a coat each from Omlet, they have some in pink" Long silence and he fixed me with a stern look " they don't need coats, I thought you gave them porridge and corn to keep them warm" whoops 'nuff said - no coats for my ladies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think this whole thing has been terribly funny. I keep expecting to see a suitably clad hen now on Grand Designs or one of those other house build programmes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 200 sold!! I have just forwarded article to DD and DS as it is rather funny. But am now slightly worried that one of them might miss-interpret it and think it is a Christmas wish list item People reading that might think we Omleteers are a little bit mad Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Wouldn't the jackets be a better bet for exbats than the knitted ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigiga Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Glad I'm not the only one who thinks these HiVis jackets for chickens is completely bonkers! But I do think that even Omlet are selling them as a "joke", but a rather expensive one me thinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If people are worried about urban hens getting out onto the roads they should look at fencing, not Hi-vis! Can see the benefit as a saddle to protect against a cockerel or bullies but not as a raincoat. Good marketing exercise and its made the National press but I'm not sure I believe 200 sold in the first 10 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I was listening to the radio as I drove this morning about 7 and the high vis jackets were ! It was part of a traffic report so not sure of the station but as it was the M40, probably Berkshire, Surrey or Oxfordshire. They are certainly exciting media interest - maybe that was the intention?
