This then ran us into New Year&#8217;s Eve and New Year&#8217;s Day before I had time to do this post.<\/p>\n<p>I said in an earlier post that at that point I hadn&#8217;t had any chicken related Christmas gifts. That was to change and I received Chicken gifts from both lots of family. I loved my chicken gifts and our gifts have all been so thoughtful.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0 most unusual gift was a chicken stamp set from eldest son, wife and grandson. It has food grade ink so that I can stamp our eggs if I want to gift them but I like the idea of using it on stationary, envelopes, gift tags etc.<\/p>\n<p>Eldest son asked me if I recognised the chicken and I wondered how I was supposed to recognise a breed of chicken from something so tiny although there was something familiar about it. It turned out it is the rusty chicken which is my avatar and also appears as the header on my blog.<\/p>\n<p>I bought the rusty chicken when we were setting up the chicken run before we got our first chickens. It has remained outside the chicken run ever since and with the help of eldest son we used the image of it for my blog header and my avatar.<\/p>\n<p>This is such a lovely personalised gift.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27398\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=27398\" rel=\"attachment
