Wonders shall never end!You've probably never
thought that chickens can wear clothes just the
way humans do.Have you?Make no mistake
about it but in some countries chickens are
kept as pets and not as a delicacy.Did you
know for example that there are chicken
diapers,sweaters,jackets or even caps.They
don't come cheap either.Making chicken
clothing seems to be a lucrative business.In
some countries in extreme weather conditions
such as winter chickens are made to wear
sweaters,jackets or caps.They argue that the
sweaters prevent the birds from cold weather
and also from being pecked by others and
injury by cockerels.They are made to wear
diapers to prevent them from messing during
pooping.Although the pet owners do this in
good faith it is against the laws of
nature.Chicken have feathers to keep their
body warm,furthermore the feeds they eat
help regulate metabolism hence provide
warmth.The sweaters would trap moisture and
therefore would create a haven for lice and
mites.Mr. cockerel would have a problem
mating and even expression of normal animal
behaviour becomes a problem.In Africa this
habit is alien as we keep chicken for meat and
eggs.Well I would say to each his own.
# Forever poultry.
