There are a number of poultry related 'must haves' on the market and this is surely the stupidest of the lot.

Given that my chickens ended up on the road last week, and into the fruit and veg wholesalers that is also on the farm, these would be a great idea!


Not gonna buy them though, just going to fix my chicken coop fencing this winter!!

I know that something called twirking is all the rage these days but anyone who actually buys one of these is most definitely a twonk! :roflanim:  but you know what they say, one's born every minute and there will be twonks out there who will splash the cash. :roflanim:

no way would I let my chickens have these reflective jackets, 
 
the colour would clash with their purple hats and red booties mine are  wearing this season :thumbsup:

I think it's a jolly good idea if your chickens want to cross the road at night on the way back from the pub when they should be in bed -dirty stopouts! But would be better if they incorporated a flashing light.


Not that surprised when they sold me Bumpa Beak Bits then told me they don't know how to fit them and no-one in their office would dream of fitting them to their chickens.


Sure someone will buy them ------but not me.
