Fashionable and safe chickens wear little pink vests to cross the road

How did the chicken cross the road? By wearing a bright pink vest, of course!

A bed and breakfast in Perthshire, Scotland, gave their hens a makeover that's both fashionable and functional -- they were given high-visibility vests for protection while they crossed the road.

Louise Lennox, owner of Glenshieling House on Hatton Road, Blairgowrie, shared this video on the Glenshieling House Facebook page of some of her chickens sporting their new garb while taking a stroll in the street.

Did you know that fluorescent pink is this fall's hottest color? These hens are in the know.

According to STV NEWS, the bed and breakfast has 14 hens that occasionally wander off the property. Lennox hopes the vests will cause drivers to slow down as they see the chickens in the street.

"I have 14 hens for my B&B, which help out with the breakfast side of things, along with a cockerel," she said. "They normally stay in the garden but a couple of them like to go for a wee wander down the path and sometimes across the road. I just thought it would be a little bit of fun and would also keep the hens safe, so I put some vests on the wanderers."

Lennox took this opportunity to use the chickens' vests for advertising, too, as each one has "Glenshieling House Girl" and the B&B's phone number printed on the back. This way, locals will also know where to return the wandering hens.

Even though a few of the chickens are a bit more adventurous than others, Lennox says "they always do come home."

So stylish. So safe.
