Rescued hens from battery cages rarely have a full set of feathers so these little jumpers are knit to help keep them warm and until their feathers come in while they adjust to their new free life :)

If you would like to make some for the rescued Battery hens in NZ you can send them to: Auckland SPCA c/o-Amy Symes, P O Box 43221, Mangere 2153 and she will distribute them around the country.

100g makes approximately 3 hen jumpers.
Two buttons are required for each jumper.
