Amythefoxslayer! Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Lol, no I don't want a shop to sell chickens on, I was just considering creating an online shop with things you might want if you were raising chickens, but not stuff you would be able to find in most pet shops. What does anybody think Stuff I was thinking about possibley selingl on it is: *Toys for chickens like decorated hanging mirrors e.c.t *Recipe books for food chickens might like *Egg recipies *Chicken poetry books! *Chicken joke books! * Decorated egg cups (personilised?) *Full chicken coop cleaning kits *Accesories for chicken coops Just an idea, please tell me if you can think of any more things to sell!

Gallina Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Chicken postcards (especially showing Pepperpots and Gingernuts and Eglus) China egg to put in the nesting box: I couldn't get one anywhere without paying a really ridiculous amount of postage.

Alison M Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hi Amy, What about mugs (the type you drink out of) towels and t-towels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amythefoxslayer! Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Good Idea! To encourage our chickns into the nesting box we've used a rubber egg but I keep getting exited whenever I see it and think its something ou chickins have layed! One of them layed it's first egg today but in the weong place so it got crushed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amythefoxslayer! Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thing, is i'm not sure how I'm going to go about doing this, I mean how do you make a chicken tea towel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison M Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thing, is i'm not sure how I'm going to go about doing this, I mean how do you make a chicken tea towel? Well obviously not with real chickens, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amythefoxslayer! Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 LOL, no I'm not going to attempt that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 You search for school fund-raising (UK) websites and they will all provide tea towels from artwork. Usually they ask for drawings, but maybe there is one that will accept photographs. Here is just one: http://www.fundraisingforschool.co.uk/ I am sure if you Google you will be able to find someone who does do a teatowel from a photograph. You could even put possible pictures in the gallery and let us choose by a poll. Then again you may think this is all getting out of hand and throw in the towel early....

Amythefoxslayer! Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Wow, very cool ideas, I just need to find way of doing them!

Also if anyone has any good pictures of chickens i could possibley use on the towels, penci cases e.c.t plese send them to me, Thankyou so much Amy Henrietta Esmerellda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucktorWho Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 If you want to put your own designs onto things there are websites like cafepress.com that do all of the hard stuff for you You choose which products you want to stock, and upload your design then you say how much you are going to charge over their base rate. The difference you choose between the base rate and your price becomes your profit, or if you are just doing it for fun, you can stick with the base rate. I'm not sure, but I think if you want more than one design you have to pay a little bit. Cafe Press is an interesting idea, they even print books and CDs for aspiring authors and musicians. Cafe Press is based in the USA (but it does deliver to the UK), but there are places here that do a similar thing. Have a look at makemymegastore.com, it's based in the UK but it's not as big as Cafe Press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
