This cracks me up ... here's a little sketch I thought I'd post that shows Tiny Tim's measurements (4" around his neck is a loose measurement). And yes, Alan and I actually took is measurements using a tape measure. I laughed and LAUGHED the entire time! Poor Tiny Tim wasn't too thrilled with the situation. He's such an odd little bird! And I told you he was LITTLE!
Oh my word, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to make chicken coats...

Your Tiny Tim drawing is so sweet. Hope somebody makes him a great sweater. How about a little cape that buttons ons but isnt too confining? I havent crocheted since I made a sweater for my Ken doll 40 years ago! Good luck Tiny!

You make me laugh when I see your drawings.

Wow! the only thing that I can say about this is, make sure there is a wing opening in the body of the Vest as otherwise it would look and act like a straight jacket for a chicken. I think this could be a cottage industry here. Like Barby cloths. Love .... Dad

OMW! This is great - a sketch of a chickens measurements. Well not just any chicken, Tiny Tim of course! This is so exciting that I think Ill take knitting lessons just so Tiny Tim can have a full wardrobe of chicken sweaters. I cant wait to see the sweater your other readers are going to knit for Tim.

I just googled Sweaters for Chickens, and it has some cute finds, including a darling chicken with a blue sweater... I know this is possible...
Im glad some people offered to do this for you.
Keep us posted....
