Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I got a lovely mug with a chicken on it from a friend . Not a thing from my family though . 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! I think I know . [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jill the potter Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I got a book - 'Chicken Coup for the Soul' by Julia Hollingsworth - not started it yet though, will let you know how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodinparts Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Jill - I got that too & really enjoyed it...good mix of story telling about her birds & some practical info & things to make you think. I'm still weighing up the chapter in which she decides that feeding commercial chicken food isn't as wholesome for the planet as she'd like...have an awful feeling she's right, but can't realistically see myself changing. I'd be interested to hear what you think when you've read it. Kathryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've used my christmas money to order a set of 3 'vintage style tins' with a cockerel on the side. They haven't arrived yet, but should be just the right size for the chooks corn and the peanuts and seed for the wild birds. I keep the corn by the back door and my greedy LabX scoffs it every chance she gets, so I was pleased to find a perfect sized' chickeny' tin to put it in. Oh, and almost forgt, I have my 'beautiful chickens' calendar hanging in the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavysqueak Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 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! I think I know . [ So thats how they managed it! Now to make sure that I don't leave my credit card in reach again! They've already got 2m of extension to the Cube run - If they work out how to get onto the Omlet site I could have a large credit card bill and an even larger run! I love the pic, what a beautiful girl. I haven't managed to get pics on the site yet. Maybe that should be the New Year's Resolution!

helen1962 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Oh yes! I received the complete encyclopedia of chickens book and a sign saying beware of the chickens, a years subscription to Practical Poultry, some porceline chicken napkin rings, a porceline mug and coaster set (thin china kind that is lovely to drink from on cold coup cleaning days and a porceline hen and cockerel salt and pepper set. Well over the top! but they all know what puts a smile on my face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majuka Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I got a really nice set of chicken table mats and coasters from a friend. My MIL also got Dave and I an oil jar with chillies in, in the shape of a chicken. At first glance I thought it was quite cool, until Dave discovered that to pour any of the oil out, you have to pull the chicken's head off....Not quite so nice now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodinparts Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Oh....I found "Your Chickens" on twitter and wondered if anyone knew what it was like. Their introductory offer for subs looks quite tempting, so if it's a good read then I might just sign up. As a chickeny "still Christmas til Candlemas" present from me to me, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie&Moose Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I got a chocolate chicken and my son got 2 real chickens - a crazy Welsummer (Medlar) and a lovely blue cochin (Magda) who looks like she's wearing fluffy pyjamas and towers over all the rest, even though she's obviously the baby of the bunch.

Gelbel Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 A chicken tea towel, a chicken calendar - now in the kitchen so my England rugby calendar just HAS to be in my office. And a pair of bone china mugs with chickens on - and I forgot how lovely tea is out of a china cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Cushion with appliqued chicken on it - companion to the one I got last year; cereal bowl with chicken on it; honey pot with chicken as lid (all from the chickens - aka husband) - and money to buy some chickens in the spring from my lovely dad. Dad also got my husband a calendar from GAGAH (Give a Greyhound a Home http://www.gagah.co.uk/), the organisation where we got our two from. He had to explain quite carefully that it wasn't Lady Gaga! Mind you, last year three different people independently got us egg cosies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
