Chickens wearing hats can be a lot of fun to look at, and they can also be a great way to show off your creativity. If you're thinking about putting a hat on your chicken, be sure to choose one that fits comfortably and doesn't obstruct their vision.
Recently my sister was showing me photos of her menagerie which includes chickens, ducks, goats and many others. She sent me photos of animals wearing hats, and I thought my Fashion Doll Easter Bonnet would fit a chicken pretty well. All you need is to add a piece of elastic so the hat won't fall off the chicken's head.
