The city of Bath, it seems, has a new phenomenon: knitting snoods for chickens.
I am told that, such is the concern for those birds newly-freed from the thankfully now-outlawed battery cages, and adopted by caring folk with back yards, that at least one knitting circle meets in a pub to produce appropriate garments for hens denuded of neck feathers from their time in the shockingly small cages. My informant did not reveal whether or not the yarn (which I trust was wool) was recycled (but I hope it is). Snoods for animals is not a new idea, of course, and a quick trawl of the web reveals stylish designs that are much more colourful than my own very black, black affair from which I fear I am becoming inseparable.
