    Chilly Chickens Wrap Up Warm
    With temperatures dropping, these chilly chickens have been kitted-out in their very own woolly jumpers.

    The well-dressed farmyard animals have been decked out in snazzy jumpers to ward off the winter chill.

    Donations of dinky knits for the ex-battery chickens have flooded in to Green Meadow Animal Sanctuary in Pattingham, Staffordshire.

    More than 60 individual woolly creations from as far away as Canada have been sent in. after owner Daphne Wain appealed to knitters following a delivery of 14 ex-battery hens.

    She continued: "When we let them in the hutch they huddled tightly together because they were scared of all the space. When we first let them out they took several hours to summon up the courage to even take a look outside.

    "Now they love going outside, but we can't let them out for too long because even with their cosy jumpers they're not fat enough to keep warm for long periods, especially in the weather we're having at the moment.

    "Because of the state they were in they needed the warm coats in order to go outside, and even to keep them warm inside. But they're doing really well, their feathers are starting to grow back and they are becoming more confident."

    And mother-of-three Daphne, who has run the sanctuary for over 20-years with her husband Clifford, has been amazed by the rea...

    Donations of dinky knits for the ex-battery chickens have flooded in to Green Meadow Animal Sanctuary in Pattingham, Staffordshire.

    More than 60 individual woolly creations from as far away as Canada have been sent in. after owner Daphne Wain appealed to knitters following a delivery of 14 ex-battery hens.

    The chickens arrived traumatised by their previous life, wasted away and with very few feathers, so Daphne appealed for help through her local newspaper - and was inundated with generous jumpers.

    "I now have over 60 jumpers between 14 chickens," said grandmother Daphne. "They must be the best dressed chickens in the world. They love wearing the jumpers.

    "Being battery hens they had never been outside before we got them. I wish I'd had a camera on them when we first got them."

    She continued: "When we let them in the hutch they huddled tightly together because they were scared of all the space. When we first let them out they took several hours to summon up the courage to even take a look outside.

    "Now they love going outside, but we can't let them out for too long because even with their cosy jumpers they're not fat enough to keep warm for long periods, especially in the weather we're having at the moment.

    "Because of the state they were in they needed the warm coats in order to go outside, and even to keep them warm inside. But they're doing really well, their feathers are starting to grow back and they are becoming more confident."

    And mother-of-three Daphne, who has run the sanctuary for over 20-years with her husband Clifford, has been amazed by the rea...

    Chilly Chickens Wrap Up Warm
    With temperatures dropping, these chilly chickens have been kitted-out in their very own woolly jumpers.

    The well-dressed farmyard animals have been decked out in snazzy jumpers to ward off the winter chill.

    A close up of a single monarch butterfly on a tree branch.
    Butterflies Cluster to Keep Warm
    These fascinating images show thousands of Monarch Butterflies clustered together in order to conserve heat during the winter months.

    Every year over 25,000 Monarch Butterflies huddle together on the pine and eucalyptus trees of Monarch Grove Sanctuary in Pacific Grove, California.

    Arriving in October it is thought the butterflies come from as far north as Canada, triggered by the decreasing daylight and freezing temperatures the Monarchs begin flying south towards the overwintering grounds sometimes up to 2,000 miles away.

    After reaching their destination the Monarchs cluster in large masses to conserve heat and energy as their flight muscles do not function well unless the temperature is above 55 degrees.

    Wildlife photographer Michael Yang visited the Monarch Grove Sanctuary on Boxing Day to witness the unique migration.

    He said: "When I was there the temperature was in the mid 50's equivalent to ten degrees Celsius, which meant the majority of the Monarch Butterflies were in the cluster. However, it is not uncommon to see stray butterflies fluttering about."

    During warmer days Monarchs will look for food sources such as nectar but always return to the clusters at night.

    This migration is so unique because migrating species such as birds sand whales, the same individuals have travelled the migration route year after year however, migrating Monarchs have never been to their destination before because several generations of Monarchs would have lived and died since last year's butterfly migration.

    A female Monarch Butterfly has approximately six weeks to seek out nectar, mate and lay eggs before she dies.
