VIDEO>>>>Chicken Lover Knits Jumpers For Her Hens
Two kind-hearted women are rescuing retired battery chickens by
giving them a new home. They own around 60 hens and half of them are
former battery chickens, who, unfortunately, having spent all their
lives in cages, are not able to acclimatise to normal weather
conditions.
Nicola Congdon and her mother Ann from Falmouth in Cornwall, England came up with a novel way to keep them warm – they knit woolly chicken jumpers. “It’s important to make people aware of the poor conditions the hens live in and the fact that they have no feathers when they are retired,” says Nicola.
“We’ve also had inquiries so far from Canada as well as local people asking for the jumpers. If anyone would like to purchase one we ask for a donation for an AIDS orphanage in South Africa,” added Nicola.
