We've all heard the "why did the chicken cross the road?" joke and its most popular answer "to get to the other side". However, thanks to the Oxfordshire company Omlet, chickens can now not only cross the road, they can do so in the safest conditions possible.
Yes, the company has developed and launched a high-visibility jacket for chickens! The unusual item, which retails at £12 each and is available in bright yellow and pink, was designed in order to stop chicken owners from worrying about their wandering birds on dark winter evenings.
Omlet director, Johannes Paul said, "We had people inquiring about this kind of thing so decided to look into it. Most people who have chickens as pets will have them out and about and we do hear about chickens who do cross the road."
Early reports suggest the unique item could well be quite popular, as the company sold 200 in ten days!
