Knitting a coat for a Chicken

Well done :o)

that has cheered me up thank you LOL

Well done....you are not mad..just caring !

Ha ha ha ha ha ..............you are indeed a very helpful, but quite mad woman............

Great Sk....will we see the coat when it's done?

Yes, we'll have to now!

I'm sure the coat will be wonderful...PS I went "qui-et-ly insane" a looong time ago... lol

Me toooooo!

lol good one SK

Well done, not done any knitting for years, infact let all my patterns & neddles go, find you can buy cheaper now than knit.

This is funny , Yes we must see the coats when they are done SK ,,,, :o)

SewK...it will be perfect...very good of you....did you ever have need to knit a coat for a horse?

Well done SewingK. Love the poem. I really would like to see it when you are done.
Raquel, I didn't go qui - et - ly insane......I went insane with get noise and ruckus. Ha ha ha.......

hi it would look better with a matching hat ha ha

you know with that little button at the collar on the one that is shown..I'd say Scotkat had been doing some of this knitting.....

Great poem, Sewing. Anyone who can knit a sweater for a hen with no pattern has my respect!

not to mention, write sweet poetry while doing it...far more clever than myself..!

Cat finch i would'nt have big enough needles to knit for a horse!!!! don't give Sarah any ideas LOL

LOL...I wondered if you would worry about that...lol!

Very thoughtful and clever. Those are some lucky chickens :) What happen to their feathers? I have a friend who crochets and has chickens, I 'll have to share this w her.

they are ex battery hens Tasteyq

Now I know why! Well done for going to the rescue with your knitting needles - will the chicken's feathers ever grow back?

oh yes they do, if you look at donnahs page there are photos of her chicken Ethel with lovely feathers

Well done whose a lucky chicken then?

fantastic now i need to ask do you have a pattern for said coats i have many chickens lossing their back feathers due to having a few to many keen cockrels and id like to knit them jackets to give their backs some protection from the elements and the boys, im a keen knitter my hens will be eternally gratefull.
thanks Lorna

I think you are a wise woman. I’d love to purchase one of your sweaters. My dearest hen, Goldie, is almost naked due to an over vigorous rooster who insists he loves her. I have gone so far as to put a Kotex pad on her back and held it in place with a tensor bandage. A knitted sweater would be much nicer. I think you have a thing there, girl, Start a business. Carolyn
