Watch: Two women knit cloths for rescued chickens to keep them warm

Nicola Congdon and her mother Ann from Cornwall, England are rescuing retired chickens.

These two kind hearted females are providing these chickens a new home. At present they have approximately 60 hens and 50 per cent of them are former battery chickens.

These chickens have spent their whole life in the cages, due to which they are not able to adapt to normal climate.

Hence to keep them warm, they came up with an idea and started to knit sweater for chickens.

“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,” said 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.
