Leeloo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I entered a Christmas light decorating contest on Facebook. I wasn't going to because I'm crazy busy right now finishing school. Then I saw there were no other entries so A) I felt bad for the company B) If no one else enters, hey, I'll take the $100 prize! So I threw some lights on my run! The girls were puzzled at first, but then they decided it would be safe to come out, look around, and have a little snack! So go check it out and like it if you have the time. Feel free to send me a friend request, too. I only have a couple of chicken-keeping friends now and I wouldn't mind some more. Hope this doesn't violate any forum rules!

chucknette Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well done That looks lovely. I found one year that my hens always huddled outside my window looking at the christmas tree lights when they were on, so we bought them their own and decorated their run. They are twinkling as I type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeloo Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm not sure if they liked it or if they just liked that I was out there which made them feel safe to venture out for a bit! There were some very confused-sounding 'baaa-aawwwwkkss?' coming out of them at first! There were slugs everywhere and I stepped on one going out there. Yuck! I thought chickens ate slugs, but these sure haven't. I can't say that I blame them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMoo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I like the idea of decorating the chicken house, not sure if the OH would agree though I Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammiboo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 that looks really ace when are you putting up the tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeloo Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 I still don't have my own tree decorated! I was actually using their product (Lightkeeper Pro) to repair the lights on my pre-lit tree. I got a couple going and then got stumped on the last strand so I decided to take a break and put some of my spare lights on the Eglu! If the hens are good, I'll give them a stocking full of mealworms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeloo Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks everyone! I needed a diversion from my final tedious class project! I have seen people make homemade wreaths for their WIR doors using their chicken's feathers as accents. It was cute, but I do not have that kind of time!
