Kentucky Frilled Chicken
“Some folks say that on a cold night, when the moon is a-howlin’, you can still see her at the old farmhouse table, knitting shrugs for the chickens.”

Wait, does the chicken come with it? Cause I’d hate to take her sweater.
October 20, 2009 at 1:42 pm
This isn’t a joke…
it’s just a really bad idea and waste of yarn I’d like somebody to pay $15 for.
October 20, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Genius! And she makes her own yarn.
October 20, 2009 at 1:47 pm
She isn’t standing like that because it looks fancy. You’re actually weighing her down and probably hurting her.
Where is the Chicken Liberation Front when you need them?

didn’t i see those feet as a fancy brooch a few posts back?

and people think it’s cruel to dress up cats.
October 20, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I’ll put it with my condom/plastic mac and my sock/sleeping bag.

#4 The CLF is burning down the building with said chicken still inside.

Where is PETA when they would be useful?

quick someone ring Etsy for Animals!

I like the “orKnitted Wrist Cuff” part. Oh, good – because I really wanted to buy this gem of craftsmanship but I didn’t have a chicklet to torment!
October 20, 2009 at 2:49 pm
good thing she showed it on a chicken. I bet it would look really stupid on your wrist.
October 20, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Poor little bird is thinking: And the KFC chickens think they go it rough…

“She’s beautiful, even more so than her nine sisters. I’m making ponchos and shrugs for them too.”
I imagine them cowering in the corner and clucking with fear as she does so.
October 20, 2009 at 3:32 pm
So… Autumn Magical Fairy Nest is also a chick poncho AND a wrist cuff?
October 20, 2009 at 3:39 pm
She’s so beautiful – even more so than her nine sisters. I’m making ponchos and shrugs for them too.
This is not a sentence that bodes well for sanity, whether you know “she” refers to a chicken or not.
October 20, 2009 at 4:22 pm
Oh – oh no – I think I might be partly responsible for this.

She keeps repeating how “This isn’t a joke” and “I’m not crazy”.
Too late.
October 20, 2009 at 4:57 pm
If you have to start off with “This is not a joke.” You might want to rethink the entire idea.
October 20, 2009 at 5:02 pm
so, it’s a cruel joke for the chick that mama made this and is going to sell it to a human? also, chickens are incontinent.
October 20, 2009 at 5:37 pm
This chicken is more beautiful (as chickens go) so she gets to be tormented first. Priority line up, thank you for going along with societal ideals of beauty being better and giving 9 chickens body image issues. It’s nice when things follow a pattern.
October 20, 2009 at 5:40 pm
great. now, in addition to cage free, I have to make sure my chicken and eggs are poncho free
October 20, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Chicken straitjackets. For when the chicken prozac just isn’t cutting it.
October 20, 2009 at 5:56 pm
“Anyway, if you have a Bantam Chick and need something for the holidays or if you know someone who raises Bantam Hens this is the perfect gift.”
(Don’t know about you guys, but I guess my Christmas shopping is totally done for this year!)
“…this poncho is only for very special occasions – and only with proper supervision. Never leave a chick unsupervised with any clothing or toys. Mostly I think the poncho is best for when the two of you are cuddling”
(Is the cuddling also supervised? Or are we going to need to call Chick Protective Services?)
“I’m not crazy, just a jeweler who dabbles in fiber & raises Bantam Chicks.”
(Spot the contradiction in this sentence!)
October 20, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Now I know where I can find my chick a coat.
October 20, 2009 at 7:35 pm
IS that chicken on her dining room table? Do you have any idea how much a chicken shits?
October 20, 2009 at 7:39 pm
What a waste of yarn. Bacon works *so* much better!
October 20, 2009 at 9:01 pm
This is one of my favorite things on here ever. It’s so sublimely retarded and sweet and ridiculous. The fact that this person is imagining a market of other chicken owners who want little sweaters is totally preposterous.
October 20, 2009 at 10:31 pm
That chicken looks rather bewildered.
It’s cute though. (the chicken, not the ‘poncho’)
October 20, 2009 at 10:39 pm
..and I thought that *I* had too much free time….
October 20, 2009 at 10:57 pm
The great thing is that this listing now has 4086 views!
Rock on Regretsy!
from the listing: “Never leave a chick unsupervised with any clothing or toys. Mostly I think the poncho is best for when the two of you are cuddling, you want to take some sweet pictures, or for a few seconds when company arrives & you want to show her off.”
So, basically, the seller admits that wrapping a chick in yarn in INHUMANE!
And, yeah, as one of those crazy commie nature loving environmentalists’ children — I’ve spent my fair share of time tending to lost baby birds — they shit like every 10 minutes. I really wouldn’t have a bird just sitting on my kitchen table… let alone one that I had adorned with a knitted bondage outfit.
Holy Moly.
October 20, 2009 at 10:58 pm
This is just what every chicken farmer needs! Good grief!
October 20, 2009 at 11:18 pm
for a few seconds when company arrives & you want to show her off.
Welcome, friends! This is lil Dayna. Isn’t she beautiful? Moreso than her nine sisters, for whom I am also knitting useless chicken garments.
Wait, where are you going? You haven’t had a chance to cuddle with her yet!
October 21, 2009 at 5:24 am
Colored yarn restrains.
Poncho keeps her warm and cute.
Struts angrily and hates you.
October 21, 2009 at 7:33 am
Wow, I thought it was just people with tiny toy dogs who liked to dress ‘em up. There’s a whole world of chicken kooks out there I didn’t know about.
In fact, if she could get together with the poodle bridal outfit lady, they could take some REALLY cute pictures.
Actually I kinda like her jewelry. I think the chick outfits is a bit of a distracting element in the shop, though. I wonder if the jewelry I order comes with some parasitic attachments?
October 21, 2009 at 7:35 am
Hmm. The chick is named Bantam Chick Lil Dayna. The fiber comes from Dayna the Crafty Scientist. Hmm.
October 21, 2009 at 10:38 am
Uh…hello ya’ll!!! The poncho is so she doesn’t catch “bird flu!”
October 21, 2009 at 11:11 am
Squeeeee.. I grew up on a chicken farm bringing chickens in the house. I think this is kinda cute. When you hold a chick your hands get hot and sweaty, and it makes the chicky sticky…So I can see this being a reasonable short-term thing. If you want to hold them, it’s much easier than a blanket.
October 21, 2009 at 11:21 am
“#36 goblin :
Hmm. The chick is named Bantam Chick Lil Dayna. The fiber comes from Dayna the Crafty Scientist. Hmm.”
Yeah, I saw that episode of X-Files, too. What the hell is happening on that farm?
October 21, 2009 at 7:56 pm
“She’s so beautiful – even more so than her nine sisters.”
Okay, way to traumatize your 9 other chicks, lady.
Seriously, what is the standard for chicken beauty? Coloring? Head structure? Breading? Clue me in, I don’t raise Bantam Sweatercuff Stands.

Beautifully said! I hope li’l Dayna has fifteen bucks, since the sweater was made especially for her.

So. . . how many weeks’ old bantam chick is your wrist size?

you do realize that you can also use this to keep the fried chicken warm, I think a leg or wing would fit nicely….the leftover fibers may stick in the teeth..but I’m sure there’s some really “sweet” handmade toothpicks listed on etsy…oh, hey! the bling bling turtle foot would work!
October 22, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Poor little thing. I feel so sorry for it
Some people have too much free time.
October 23, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I went to show this to a friend, and it has sold!
October 24, 2009 at 1:08 pm
i think its kinda cute…

I am SOOOOOO getting this for my friend who raises chickens!!!
That’s one Christmas present down.
November 11, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Does anyone know the proper way to cite the text referring of her item description? I’d like to use the “more beautiful than her nine sisters,” part in my next novel. Yep.
November 25, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Why am I afraid that poor Little Dayna is NEVER allowed to have the garment removed; thus stunting her growth so she will never, ever get big and leave and not cuddle again?
March 13, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Lol, “Not a bad looking chook either” says my 9yo DD chook breeder
April 27, 2010 at 4:02 pm
my Bantam chick is 22 days old; I’d like to order sizes 30 days, 60 days, 80 days, 120 days and 300 days because my chick and I have special occasions coming up for which she will need to be formally dressed.
But where are the spats? she can’t go out in bare feet!
March 21, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Wait, the moon howls?
