Did anyone get any Chickeny Xmas presents?

Recommended Posts

I got a lovely mug with a chicken on it from a friend :D . Not a thing from my family though :roll: .

 

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 :lol: .

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.

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

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! XxX

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!

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 :?

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 :)
