I know WE are all mad

So dont feel to daft posting the question.

 

Can I put a real tree in the girlies run

Dont think they would eat it, but thought i could decorate it with threaded popcorn instead of tinsle and use Mazzarina's cake recipe to make stars and snowman shaped baubles!!!

Have I really lost the plot

Maybe you have lost it a little bit but this is the Omlet Forum so you are allowed!

 

If I can put fairy lights on the run then a christmas tree seems reasonable....

 

How about a sprout tree instead?

 

That is what my girls got on their Xmas Eve clean out last year

 

 

[Gelbel]

No - you have not lost the plot I have been wondering what to do too. I have brought meal worms (thank you Wilkinsons) as a pressie or Christmas nibbles.

[AJuff]

My girls always get a big tub of mealworms for Christmas!!!

[Barkisland]

I tried my girls with sprouts and they wouldn't eat them

[Plum]

Mine wouldn't eat them but would you.

 

You have to treat them, I made a christmas meal for them yum

Here's what I did for my girls...don't laugh.

Ooh, lovely, Santa hats for chickens!

 

 

Not sure my lot would go for that, but it's worth a try....

[chick wiggle]

NO! absolutely not mad, at least thats what ive been telling my OH when i told him i want to decorate their run for xmas!

I love love love the piccies and Em, Im definately having a sprout tree for my girls too

[Janty]

I made three more hats out of felt yesterday for the chicks.

 

The idea is that they will have their photos taken with their hats on next to their Christmas soft toy I've ought them. I will scatter red and white feathers on the floor of their brooder and the photos will e used for our family Christmas cards this year.

 

Huy says I'm nut but then came up with the text for the card...'I'm pekin out for Santa!'

 

 

The hats are made out of a felt cone, sewn down the back with a strip of fur fabric sewn around the bottom. The pom-pom is just a little bought one that is sewn on.

[BeckyBoo]

Yup. Mad. You're all quite mad!

v. funny pics we have a santa hat the right size.......the only problem is, is that it is a phone hat which flashes when my mobile rings im not sure the hens would be too impressed by that

[Chicken Shirl]

Nothing like being completely potty. Is there I love it

[Chook n Boo Mum]

I must admit in Tesco on Friday I was planning to look for some solar lights to put on the WIR......I even got as far as saying "lets go look for some solar lights for......" and my seven year old nephew decided to have a moment of pre-Christmas "but I waaaaannnnntttt it" at the Lego kit, which Auntie Sha was kindly left to deal with I do love my sister .......so solar lights are on the shopping list for another day, heyho!!

 

And BTW, we are not mad, it's the rest of 'em
