My husband said that he was determined not to buy me any chicken gifts this year but he saw something that he couldn’t resist. I often remark that when Peaches and Barley stand on the high perches and stretch their necks upwards to watch us in the garden, they look just like rubber chickens.
He saw this and just had to get it for me.
I instantly named her Funky Chicken
We decided to hang her from the chicken’s door
Funky Chicken’s new home
My husband also bought me some lights for inside the chicken shed. At this time of year the mornings are so dark that I poop pick the chicken shed by torch light.
Chicken shed lights
These lights have batteries and you just press the globe to switch it on and off. It means I won’t have to take a torch in with me.
We always buy each other several small gifts as there isn’t much that we need at our age but these sort of gifts are thoughtful and fun. I really like my Funky Chicken.

Allso like your funky chicken, And what a good idea, the lights.
The lights are great because at this time of the year it is dark in the chicken shed when I go in to poop pick first thing. I usually have to take a torch which I kept in the cabinet, use one hand to hold the torch then return it to the cabinet. This morning I just switched on the lights, had both hands to clean up then switch them off before leaving the shed. It really does make everything quicker and easier. Sometimes the most simple things can really make a difference.
