I know it sounds silly, but has anyone
made a vest for a chicken? My friend saw some on FB and asked me if I could make one for her chicken. The one she saw was knitted and I told her I couldn't do that exactly, but I could make a quilted vest. Now I am working on a vest for a 3 lb. chicken. Any ideas/advice/experience?

Wow, I got a good laugh out of this post. But then I did some googling and actually found info on how to make a chicken vest. Maybe these will be helpful to you.

Although this is a knitting program, I think it would work fine cut out of fleece:

This one shows how you can position buttons and buttonholes:

Edit: It needs to be snug so the chicken doesn't get its foot caught in the material. The knitted sweaters have a bit of an advantage in that respect:
