Sweaters for Animals
Feeling cooped up? We know the feeling.
If you’re wanting some inspiration to spread kindness (instead of germs) we have a project for you! Many of the hens we’ve rescued are often missing many feathers due to a lifetime of stress, such as from hoarding situations or battery cages. When it’s cold and wet outside, we try to keep them extra warm until their feathers grow back.
We’ve rounded up some sweater ideas here!
