chickanne Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I think Omlet should sell clothes with muddy chicken footprints on them (I like to think it's mud but I suspect this is not always the case!!). Like most of you my early morning attire does not exactly look alluring but at least the head torch dazzles any onlooker so they cannot see the full extent of the fashion faux pas. I wait til the OH leaves for work before I scuttle out looking like a bag lady. Put the Eglu in my greenhouse yesterday morning at 7am. Took me 40 mins to undo the run bolts (losing washers in the snow) then cart the components 15 yards and reassemble. It was worth it to see the pair of them dust bathing in the soil half an hour later. They also enjoyed polishing off the remains of the surviving lettuce. Much easier to deal with them in there and one less layer of clothing required! Only 3 weeks to go and days start getting longer again.....

Chortle Chook Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Early New Year's resolution: to look more glamorous for my chooks. I already have pink rubber gloves to match their Grub and Glug. Welly boots to be co-ordinated next - if Father Xmas has listened to my wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 In the morning I pop out in my croc slippers, nightshirt and dressing gown with a coat over the top - I think I look bigger than the Michelin man but know the girlies don't mind. And at the moment the snow fills my slippers At night time I just wear my work clothes and run and when I clean them out I wear a coat that is 18 years old and usually keeps all the elements out - but not tonight....... -6 already and it only 5.50 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeMeadfan Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I love all the different 'fashions'! Well if a weekday morning then I'm usuallly dressed, so possibly look quite smart! BUT - usually have my trousers tucked into my socks (as obviously a lot of us seem to do). I then put on my 'backdoorshoes' (from company of same name - sort of clog type things made from croc like stuff(ie as in the brand crocs - not crocodile skin! )) This attire usually is accompanied by yellow rubber gloves. In the cold there will be a 'scraggier' coat with maybe a scarf wrapped round head/neck and hood up - one of those huge hoods with fake fur round it. At weekends I really come into my own - nightie, jeans pulled on with the legs turned up, socks, dressing gown, coat or huge raincoat, over the top of that. "backdoorshoes' (pink roses on them). Yellow rubber gloves. Absolutely stunning! Often in the evening this look is enhanced by the wearing of a headtorch! (mind you, not in my nightie - well maybe in summer!)

Cranfield Kate Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I love that we all go out in our nighties and PJ's! maybe not in this weather (well, they're on under my waterproofs) but in the summer i just tumble into the garden wearing whatever I wore to bed. with wellies. my neighbours point and laugh at me in the pub.

Luvachicken Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Plum, how about using sellotape over the top or maybe one of those de-fluffing things that you can use to shave the boobles of your jumpers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I've got one of those somewhere. Think I better start getting changed in the mornings first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbel Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I shudder at what the neighbours must think of me - especially those at the end of the garden as they have a good old view of my chook area. In the winter it's old trackie bottoms (that are very faded black or faded navy and suffering from bleach spills and you can guarantee they flap just above my ankles) that need constant pulling up - not from being too big, but from the 'lacky being too loose light blue ankle height wellie bobs whatever the fleece/jumper of the day is - which you can be sure do not reach the top of the trousers then dependant on the weather yellow padded gilet or yellow and blue anoraky thing with dark blue fleecey lining all the way from San Francisco (zipped on hat optional) black Thinsulate beanie hat or various shades of plum, patch-work effect beanie hat or, if no hat is needed hair like the wild woman of Borneo (I have naturally curly hair that I straighten but overnight it looks like I plug myself into the mains) day-glo yellow gloves (with hole in the left thumb) or gardening gloves. In the summer it's some form of cropped trousers and a vest top (braless 99.9% of the time ) with Croc flip flops and said hair (even if it's under a bandana it looks like it has a life of its own and is trying to escape). I've even forgotten that I have one on - I have been known to go out on a Saturday afternoon with............ a facepack on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
