Why did the chicken cross the road?

To escape the battery and stay warm with a new jumper.

This is a battery farm refugee. Not sure about
avian anatomy, but if that is her egg laying apparatus
under there it looks very sore to me.
Ouch.
When a UK woman, Jayne Blaine rescues them, they are
naked and cold, and in the few months while their feathers grow
these guys get jumpers knitted by caring folk.

Jayne says its like knitting a tube, or a funnel, with wing holes
so they can flap happily.

Check out the stylin eyelash yarn on this chook.

I cant imagine what the measurement taking session would have been like,

but each chicken is looking for a home and she is expecting 4,000 more.

Ever wonder what happens to battery hens that have laid their last egg?

Bet you don't want to know, but you can guess.

Baxter says he only eats people chicken, and then from happy chooks

that live with their chicken feet in the dirt,

under real sun and sky,

but all things dropped on the floor or in the street no matter how revolting are his.

Want fresh eggs and good karma

of a rescued chooken in the UK?
Or maybe just the jumper pattern.

In the last glorious days of summer, as the wind blows while the sun shines,
it was back to the streets to warm some poles.

The guerrilla gardening rotunda got a horizontal warmer this time,
after a couple of mums stopped by to say that
their kids all adored the pole one.

And Campos, my favourite coffee got their old one replaced.
Like the rotunda, it is a site specific knit up that
reflects the appreciation of excellent coffee.

See the fluffy milk on top of the coffee colored yarn?

And the green is the color of their cups.

Next up: Grrl+dog have a blog detox for six days and nearly lose the plot.
