Hen jumpers!
Thank you to everyone who has helped us all over the world with making jumpers for our girls. Below we have photos of some of the many jumpers that have passed through our doors!
We currently have plenty and we are asking people to stop for the time being. We have a jumper email list, so we can contact you when we are getting low again.
If you aren't on our jumper list and want to be, please email littlehenrescue@aol.com and type in the subject 'jumper email list'.
Below is our fleece design, the fleeces are especially good because they wash easy and dry easy. The hens haven't a risk of getting legs caught.

Not all farmed hens are bald, but usually there is around 10-20% that are, these hens depending on the time of year stay with us until feathered.
Summer time we are happy to rehome them with their jumpers. They always make a full recovery and have no after effects of the baldness. They just need warmth and time.
The reason for the baldness is unclear, but they tend to be the more nervous hens, and often found in the darker parts of the farms.
Below is photo's of some hens in their many different jumpers, made in all colours.
