Jumpers for chickens, Blisworth, Northampton, Britain - Jan 2009
Chicken rescuer Jane Percival knew just what to do to stop her
chicks becoming too cool in a cold spell... home made jumpers.
Jane, 69, enlisted the help of the local Women's Institute members
and their knitting skills to help protect the ex battery farm
chickens, fearing they didn't have enough feathers to cope with sub
zero temperatures
Jane, 69, from Blisworth, Northants, said: "We knew they wouldn't
have enough feathers for the cold.
"So I searched the internet and found a pattern. The ladies from
the local WI got knitting and now we have eight or nine jumpers."
Jane added: "It's made the chickens so happy that they even laid
eggs."
