High-Vis Chicken Jacket
Omlets new chicken jackets are great for keeping your chickens warm, dry and clean when out and about on the building site (your garden). Newly rescued battery hens whose feathers are a little sparse or hens who have recently moulted will appreciate the jackets extra warmth and of course it goes some way to protecting a semi naked chicken's modesty.
Its no yolk that chickens who are involved in the hentertainment business are often found crossing the road. Why they do this we don't know - but if they are wearing one of these chicken jackets they will at least be complying with BS-EN471. If you don't know what that means - don't worry - the key thing is that your chickens will be completely safe while changing a wheel on your car if you breakdown on the side of the motorway.

In the Press
Launched in October 2013, the High-Vis Chicken Jacket has featured in many newspapers, magazines, radio and television programmes already, and the product has proved to be incredibly popular with chicken keepers everywhere. Below are a few examples of our press features..
Lifesaver for my bird with back injury - Charlotte,
I was so pleased to find this jacket. One of my girls got attacked by rats in the night (it’s very unusual but had let it get out of control not realising the threat to my birds). Whilst her deep back wound was healing had thought I would have to mess up the pecking order by isolating her until I found this great product. She hated it at first but soon realised it wasn’t prey!! It’s been a lifesaver as it’s now healed but kept the flock united and safe and are useful to find them when they hide in the shrubs as often happens. Also found amazing bumblefoot boots made for birds with google search - in US , that protect the dressings after op from getting wet and cushion the sore foot (Birdie Booties) neoprene with velcro fastenings for ducks and hens - just thought I’d tell fellow hen lovers as I found them by chance google search on hen forum and work a treat too and no I don’t own the Co!! Love my Omlet jacket - thank you for a fantastic idea - my neighbours think I’m crazy with my hens but I love my rescue girls - great to see them happy after horrid life first.
Yellow High-Vis Chicken Jacket - Jim,
Quality product and great turn-around from time to order to receiving the jacket. Our chicken is not crazy about the jacket, however, so not sure what to do about that - see wants to back out of the jacket constantly and had to take it off her.
Perfect - Just the job! - Sally, Derbyshire,
My girls backs were sore and they had lost feathers where Derek (my amorous cockeral) was constantly jumping on top of them to mate. So I bought all my girls jackets for protection - THEY WORK!! They did the job. My girls backs are 100% better now after wearing them. The sore areas are all healed up well and their feathers are growing back in now. These jackets have saved me from separating my chickens, so everyone is happy. I was worried that the jackets wouldn't fit my enormous chickens (ex-broilers) but they do and they cover the areas on their backs that matters. I couldn't be happier with the jackets! If anyone is having the same problem as me....I couldn't recommend these more, they work.
Great Pink Hi Viz Jacket - Sylvia,
Great service from Omlet. Hi Viz chicken coat was great & very useful during the very cold week. My rescue hen who came with no feathers looked very warm & comfortable in the jacket. May need to buy more for the hens next winter.
Such a good idea! - Barbaramoseley, West Sussex,
I had one existing chicken and then rescued two more from the Hen Trust, so bought 3 HV jackets in different colours. They arrived at the just the right time, two coldest nights of the winter, and so for only two days wore them night and day even though this is not advised. Right now and in proper togetherness housing (all get on well) they only go on in daytime when wandering loose in the garden (well dug over!!) but I can recognise each one by their coat colour and see them at dusk to get them back to hot mash and early bed these cold nights.
