Chortle Chook Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Having seen Plum's wonderful shoes on the thread entitled 'Cockerel accessory' with chooks on the front and 'Plum' on the back (Plum, if you see this, can you post them here for people to see more off - front and back - they are so original?) I have to ask, did anyone else get any chickeny Xmas presents? I got a 'Chicken tidy' (i.e. Kitchen tidy with little chickens as pegs) from the lady who looks after my dogs when I have to be away all day, and a sweet little wooden chicken from my sister that rocks back and forth pecking. It is on my kitchen window sill. My chickens had brussel sprout 'trees' and freshly opened coconut. They adored both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 How great having chickens as a Christmas present and lucky they got the choice right I did have rather a chickenny christmas as well. Chicken mug, shoes as already posted, a chicken doormat, 2 brush chickens, a chicken stapler, a little glass chicken and an egg from Grackle Well when asked what I'd like for christmas I said anything chickenny and I like naff presents and gave the link to Ilikechickens. Love them all though Think we need some pics of all these chickenny gifts and the chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavysqueak Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I bought my husband a wooden chicken construction kit and a Haynes Chicken Keeping Manual. The girls 'somehow' managed to borrow my credit card and know my password to Amazon - they bought us a lovely wire mesh type egg basket in the shape of a chicken! How they typed with only claws or a beak I'll never know! From the family & friends we've got an oven glove, cake tin & apron with identical chicken patterns on them. We also got a two mug, coaster & tea tray set from a friend. Not chicken-y, but for the second year running my Mum-in-Law bought me a wonderful guinea pig ornament! I think that's all of the chicken related paraphanalia we recived. Looks like we've all had a good haul this year! Happy New Year everyone.
