There's been a few articles like this recently. I think there's somewhere where you can get a knitting pattern to make your own

i've got some if anybody ones them, when i got my girls it was during the snow/really cold snap and i was worried they'd be freezing after coming from the battery farm. Though to be honest they were so stressed out when i tried to get them on them i left it and just put a ton of straw in the hen house for them to keep warm (they survived to tell the tale)
If anyone wants the pattern i can email it.

Like you Hans Mum, I was worried about mine when I got them, and for the same reason. However, once I realised how furnace-like the coop was at night with them all in there, I stopped worrying!

I have the knitting pattern instructions and have posted it.................happy knitting!

The photos of bald hens makes me ashamed to buy battery eggs & chickens.
