Solitary chicken - need advice

[missuscluck]

I am after a really nice bright chicken shaped egg holder. You know the type , looks like a sitting chicken, lid comes off and you put your eggs in.

 

I tryed to order the M and S one but they were out of stock and then went after the Linda Barker one with the matching egg cups, had my order accepted then I got an e mail yesterday to say they could not fulfill the orders due to unprecedented demand

 

Im not having much luck.

 

Has anyone seen a nice one anywhere. You lot are good at chickenailia

I saw some in Lakeland this afternoon but they are just a plain creamy beige colour. I got one in a charity shop a few years ago for 50p.

Funnily enough I picked one up in a charity shop today for £2! Plain cream and not as much detail as the Lakeland one, but a welcome addition to the kitchen all the same!

[Snowy]

These are the nicest ones I've seen though, despite the price!

Those are my faves too Snowy, but £50

sorry to rub it in, but I have the lovely M & S one. I cant understand why they dont stock much of their "chicken" range anymore? As I wanted to order the milk jug.

 

I will keep an eye out though.

what's the m&S one like??

gorgeous its very big and brightly coloured with yellow and pink spots.

The M&S range was lovely - the kind of thing I would've started collecting if they'd kept it going

Couldn't afford it myself, but happy to encourage others to spend instead!

Beautiful. Especially the polka dot one.

 

I wonder how many they hold

[Christian]

I really like Emma Bridgewater stuff but it is so expensive.

 

I guess the hen would hold at least 10 eggs? Judging but the height/size of it?

[Egluntyne]

I'm sure the M&S "Chickens" range had something similar.

 

I've just tried *googling* it but haven't found it.

Dosn't look like there is much left at all in the M&S range Shame. By the time I can afford it, it will all be gone

[missuscluck]

the bridge water ones are lovley but too expensive. I would worry about using it too much in case I chipped it.

 

They have a brown one in Oxfam but I am hanging on as I really want a bright colourd one. I have got a thing about bright china and collect chickenalia (obviously!! ) and jugs and honey pots, but I only buy bright jolly stuff.

 

I waited too long to order the m and s one, then they were all sold out.

[The Dogmother]

I've seen the Bridgewater one in a shop in Banbury - it's quite big. I seem to remember a smaller one too, but that was about a year ago....

................Give me a mo and I'll go and count

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love EB stuff and have quite a large collection which is all either seconds, end of line or sale items..........makes a bit more affordable

[Snowy]

I'm getting quite obsessed with these things now - you've started something now Missuscluck!

Try this search on ebay: >>>Ebay Search<<<

There are some rather lovely ones!

I have the chicken in the top heading (next to the word chickens)

 

I also have the mugs. teapot, toast rack, tumblers, salt and pepper

This is the one I bought for £1 at a car boot sale a couple of years ago.

 

 

 

I did see a cream one in TKMaxx last time I was there, if that helps.

[Cooks]

The homebase one is all cream and looks like [url=http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=20001&partNumber=805301&Trail=searchtext>CHICKENhttp://THIS!!
