I’m about to state the obvious here so bear with me: chickens don’t have arms. Yeah, they have wings, but that can’t be all that helpful when it comes to exploring their environment. If you too feel bad that your flock of fowl lack appendages on their upper body (or you just think it would be hilarious to see them with some), you can now buy little plastic arms for your chicken, and why wouldn’t you?

- Technically speaking, the arms aren’t really for chickens. I mean, making little plastic arms particularly to put on live chickens would be crazy, right? (Or do you think I should branch out into a new business?) These are actually little plastic doll arms that you can easily buy on Etsy or craft supply stores. They’re just repurposed for an awesome cause.
- All you need is a little chicken wire. Get it? No, but really — you’ll need the wire to attach to both arms and form into an arch to fit over the chicken’s back. Voila, your chicken has arms! It literally couldn’t be simpler or quicker to put this together.
- A chicken with arms? Hilarious! Sure, it’s a little bit silly to put plastic doll arms on your live chicken and make them walk around with it, but it doesn’t cause the birds any harm and it’s also hilarious and will make you and anyone else who sees your chicken(s) laugh hysterically. Win-win situation here!
- Sadly, the arms don’t actually work. I mean, a chicken wouldn’t know how to use arms anyway since it doesn’t normally have them, but wouldn’t that be cool if they could? I’m just imagining a bunch of chickens walking around giving each other high fives and swinging their arms with that hilarious little strut they do.
- Sorry, I think I’ve been cooped up in the house too long. Get it? 😀
