Chicken Sweaters?

Apparently everyone in the world is doing great.  How do I know this?  Because there's a group in England that's doing a very special kind of charity work this holiday season.  They're not volunteering at a local soup kitchen or ringing the Salvation Army bell in front of the mall.  They're not buying toys for orphans, giving blood, or even writing a check to the United Way. 

So how are these resourceful Brits helping the world become a better place?

Chicken Sweaters.

No, it's not the latest Lady Gaga fashion trend.  They're literally knitting sweaters... for chickens. Not coats for the homeless.  Not even blankets for the elderly.  Sweaters.  For chickens. 

Seriously, WTF?

Here's the full story.
