Went to a farm supply store in rural Ohio and saw a chicken wearing a tiny sweater...

The lady said it was for her silkie who gets cold at night. I kinda want to knit one for my bantam now but I can't even sew a button on straight. Has anyone found a good way to keep their smaller breeds warm in the winter without buying fancy gear?

I use a cheap heat lamp with a red bulb aimed at one side of the coop, works fine.

You tried a heat lamp yourself? How'd that go with your birds?
