This may be moved to a more appropriate forum, but as I'm not sure which one would be most appropriate, I'll thank the moderators in advance!

 

I just sent this email to the National Trust:

 

Hello,

 

Over 20 years ago, I purchased a reproduction of an Edwardian nursery frieze (1901) from the National Trust Shop in Cambridge. The black-bordered frieze showed a stylised goose and goslings, a dashing yellow and black cockerel and a flock of cream-coloured chicks on a dark green background. It is more than 10 feet long and 16" high and printed in sections.

 

Thanks to Jamie Oliver (who spread the word about the easy upkeep Eglu) and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (who campaigns against battery farming), henkeeping in urban as well as rural areas is becoming hugely popular.

 

Chicken-related items are going to also increase in popularity. I urge you to consider reprinting the frieze. It has added considerable character to my country-style kitchen.

 

I can send a photo in a text message to a mobile phone.

 

The frieze runs along the top of the longest wall of my small kitchen with a rail below it with butchers' hooks for pots and pans. I realise that chicken items naturally belong in a country style kitchen. Only after getting into hen keeping did I realise how they had been incorporated w/o my thinking about it. A child's cup with a chicken on it is in the dresser and my pot holders hang from a metal hook topped by a chicken. And egg cups are on display too!

I have a very modern, glossy finish kitchen and generally keep clutter free but I do love those old fashioned livestock pictures and would have them if they would fit in the scheme of things.

 

My one item of poultry related ornamentation is a DCUK wooden duck!

Sounds nice to me.

The most chicken related items I have in my kitchen are frequently.... chickens!
