Featherless Chicken Wears a Sweater to Keep Warm


When Buffy the chicken lost all of her feathers, staff at the animal rescue center knitted her a sweater to keep warm!

Deputy manager Emma Phillips has become Buffy’s 'foster mum' and keeps the hen in a luxury nestbox at the centre’s chicken shed.

She said: 'Sadly, we occasionally find hens in this state when we rescue them and when Buffy arrived she looked like she was oven-ready

'But now she’s bold enough to peck and scratch about and tries to join the other chickens sunbathing in the sunshine wearing her little jumper."
