YOU'LL LOVE THIS ADORABLE TREND IN CHICKEN FASHION

Nicola Congdon is giving retired hens a second chance at life! The 25-year-old and her mom decided to adopt the worn out battery hens and set them free to roam on their farm in Cornwall, England.

But soon after starting their project, it became clear that these poor old hens just didn't know how to survive out in the open after being forced to live in tiny, tiny cages their whole life. They just didn't have enough feathers to stay warm, so of course, Congdon and her mom decided to knit them warm, wooly sweaters. How cute is that?

 

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.

 

"The tank tops are also something really different that provide some fun for the chickens," Congdon told Mashable. "They keep them warm and makes the chickens easy to identify.”

And not only does this project do good for the chicken world, Congdon is also using the project to raise money to give to AIDS orphanages in South Africa. All in all, we think this is a pretty amazing idea and we'd love to buy a human sized sweater if Congdon decides to expand her business.

Love these knitted chicken tank tops? Take a look at these Crochet Booty Shorts. They're another example of creative DIY fashion.
