Chortle Chook Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 OK so I've probably got more than enough chicken themed things in my house but I think this just has to be one of the prettiest. clicky Shabby chick / country cottage with a modern minimal twist. What are your favourite chicken things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebee Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Cuuuute! I thought the chooks on the apron were each wearing a mini apron at first... then realised they are their matching wings... I like anything like that too, and have hens and cockerels all over the kitchen in one form or another, and the odd duck too Shabby Chic!

counturchickens Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 My oh bought me the Sophie allport chicken design apron and oven gloves for Xmas, and they're lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Ooh I love that apron! I have a few chickeny themed things - a statue in my front window, some knitted hens and chicks on my kitchen windowsill, a chicken painting in my dining room, a Sophie Allport chicken inboard in my study and a little chicken blackboard which my sister in law made for me (clever girl) which I am going to hang from a chicken hook. You can never have too much chickenalia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That is really nice. I don't have any chicken themed things. It's an odd side of me. When we had guinea pigs or the dog I didn't want guinea pig or doggy things even if they were lovely like the pinny. It's also why I don't have a chicken themed avatar. Odd but true, I don't understand it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd but true, I don't understand it myself. I too am not keen on dog themed things - though the Sophie Aport black labs are rather a nice design quite a lot of dog things are a bit, well, too, hmmm However chickens really seem to lend themselves to things. I used to collect them like mad till I could have the real thing. I think it is their funny shape and the bright yellows and reds that lend themselves so well to design from the sublime (Klimt painting) to the rediculous (the pinny) My OH who has no guinea pigs, by the way, likes guinea pig things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counturchickens Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I agree shabby chic. I've always had cats, and people have bought me cat things, but I have bought myself chicken things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missusmac Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Bought my first chicken themed item last weekend - a cast iron doorstop. Been waiting for my OH to notice but so far - nothing! He will probably hate it - he doesn't share my interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My new fav thing is "Hay Day" on my Iphone the chaps at work keep playing it and I adore the chooks on it so I am now addicted to it. Talk about wasting time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My favourite item is my tiles in front of my hob. After a long time searching, we found a broken set of tiles with a cockerel and mother hen on her eggs. Obviously we couldn't buy them broken so we carried on looking. All that stayed in my head were those chickens so we went back to the shop and asked and the lady what could be done, she said she knew someone who could do copies - so that is what I have. I got them long before real chickens came into my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Chicken themed tiles for my hob splash back is one thing I don't have but would really like. My cousin, who couldn't care less about chickens, has one that I really covet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torgrosset Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I too don't really buy chicken themed items, except for one mug I have, however I really do like that pinny and I need a new one so I may have to treat myself!!!! I have also seen the Sophie Allport "Lay a little egg for me" mug, which I quite like too so I may have to get that as well!!! I have horses/ponies and dogs and hate horsey/doggy themed bits and bobs but some people always assume I do?!?! For some reason it tends to be the people who don't have any pets who buy it for me - funny that isn't it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowyhen Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 We've got two chicken mugs and some chicken mug mats at home, but we've got boxes full of egs and 7 girls in the garden (hens not eggs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazmac Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I have a tea cosy with chickens on it which I bought years ago and it's in permanent use! But today my older daughter gave me chicken pyjamas for mothers day and they're fab! Can't wait to put them on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
