'From £12? !!!
I don't even think my girls COULD 'change a wheel at the side of a motorway' !
Would it make them more easily visible to foxes at the time of day when you would have to go out and put the jackets on for them every evening?

Like the registration plate on the last photo E665 YUM. Just what I think at breakfast time. Don't get the street name though?
Great idea. Loads of Christmas present material there I'm sure. My wife knitted a jumper for Annie, a Blackrock who decided to moult in December. She kept trying to get out of it though, getting tangled in the process and in the end stayed very cold. We kept bringing her in to thaw out.
Not sure a fox would recognise them as chickens Marigold. If they had a little sign they could pretend to be lollypop ladies.

Another thought. I do like the tweed waistcoats. Thought our Bottom would look rather smart in one and then thought a carrying handle fitted on top would be a useful addition.

Oh dear...
Street name = something else you use at breakfast time?
Chris- now you can take your hens in the car in France legally. They'll have their own hi-vis within reach so that you, as the driver, don't get fined.
Then you just need to show them how to use the breathalisers...

….and explain how to assemble the warning triangle and where to put it Icemaiden.
Afraid the budget won't stretch to 30 Hi-vis jackets. Perhaps one tweed one though?

Alarmingly this seems to have featured on Have I Got News For You.
I just don't get it. I bloody hope no one gives me these for Christmas!
I get why you might need a hen jacket to help out a girl who is in a mess from moulting when the weather turns, or an ex battery hen who is in a state... Even a hen who's getting too much attention from an amorous cock. But high viz? High viz?
Thats it. I resign from the human race. I'm declaring myself an ape.

The stripe is visible from the air so makes nay bird of prey's job easier.
Cab the high viz is so stupid motorists can see them - but mine are all tucked up by 4.15.
They'll be putting wording on next - like "Pass wide and slow".
Chris where's the tweed one? Couldn't see it anywhere.

If you go backwards at the top of the page to 'chicken keeping' Margaid, the tweed ones are next item along.
Thanks for bringing this item to everyone's attention Cab. What's 'Have I Got News For You' then. We haven't watched TV for 14 months and only got the Freesat going last week (TV is rubbish, radio is good). Perhaps for a few months only as the new Astra satellite will be switched on soon for HD TV -the transmission beam is narrower so a larger dish is needed (60cm increases to 100cm) and I doubt the chimney will stand the wind loading here. Every year a handful of gusts will send a steel wheelbarrow skywards!

'Have I got news for you' is a long- running (many years) Friday night satirical news-and-comment programme, featuring Ian Hislop (of Private Eye) , Paul Merton and guests. It used to be chaired by Angus Deaton until he did something naughty and got the sack a year or two ago. Now it's chaired by a succession of guest presenters. My favourite is Jo Brand. It's often rude, sometimes crude, but very funny at its best.

Jo Brand makes me laugh Marigold, but I don't remember the programme. We always went to bed early and got up early -best part of the day is daybreak when no-one is about and it is as peaceful as it gets.

For the inevitable cliche of a chicken crossing the road? Yeah, maybe. But I can't help but wonder whether this is perhaps the wrong answer if the problem someones hens face is road traffic :lol:
Still, if thats how folk want to spend their brass

I found a wonderful birthday card but not sure if I can scan it for posting on here. The front has a bright green crocodile eyeing up a fluffy yellow chick; inside, the chick is wearing green croc skin shoes and swinging a green croc skin handbag. Maybe I should contact Omlet?
