Chickens Are Keeping Their Cool This Winter With Adorable Sweaters

The world has a lot of domesticated chickens, but the world's climate may not be very nice for them in the chilly months. [post_ads]By knitting them cute sweaters, some of us humans are helping them get out of their coops no matter the season. The sweaters are particularly helpful for birds that are currently in the middle of molting when their feathers are thin and less able to help them keep warm.
