Check out these Awesome Gifts for Chicken Lovers!
Actual Chickens:
What could be a better gift for a chicken lover than, well…..actual chickens?! Of course, before you buy anyone (even a crazy chicken lady) a live animal you should make sure they have the time, space, money to care for them.
But, if you have the go ahead, getting actual chickens is one of the best gifts for chicken lovers. You have a few different options you could purchase:
1) New babies
You could buy day old chicks for your chicken lover. You can have chicks shipped or you can find a local chicken breed to purchase from.
Make sure that you know about all the different chicken breeds and choose the breeds that the person you are buying them for will like the most. For example, if they love pet chickens get them a breed like silkie chickens and not a dual purpose breed.
2) Hatching eggs
Another option you can go for is to buy hatching eggs as a gift for a chicken lover. Make sure the person knows how to incubate eggs properly.
Gifts for Chicken Farmers:
If you know a person who is not just a chicken lover or backyard enthusiast, but is actually a chicken farmer, you may want to go with a more practical chicken gift. Chicken farmers are chicken lovers who make a profit with chickens.
Here are 6 of the best gifts for chicken farmers:
An Eco Glow is one of the best gifts for chicken farmers. Young chickens need a heat source and heat lamps can be dangerous and have a short life span. Eco glow’s are a radiant heat source to keep your babies safe without using a heat lamp.
A new brooder, rather it be a small premade one or a big wooden chick brooder that you make is a perfect gift for chicken lovers. True chicken lovers and chicken farmers will always have tons of baby chicks running around and having plenty of space for them is really important.
3) Incubator
You can splurge if you are buying a gift for a HUGE chicken lover and get them a cabinet incubator so that they can hatch ALL THE CHICKS!
Or, you can be a little more reasonable and get a smaller little incubator so they can hatch some of the chicks 🙂
4) Egg Trays or Egg Apron
You’ll need to have items to collect all the eggs your chickens are laying.
Egg Trays for storage. If the person you are buying for gets a lot of eggs, I recommend these egg flats. If they get a smaller amount, I recommend smaller egg cartons.
Egg Apron or egg basket for while you are out collecting eggs.
5) Hand Warmers
If you know a chicken farmer who is selling baby chicks, they will go through a LOT of hand warmers. Hand warmers can be used to transport chicks to their new homes locally OR they can be used when shipping live chicks.
6) Profitable Homesteading Worksheets
These worksheets could be the best of the gifts for chicken farmers. They can help an aspiring chicken farmer figure out their actual revenue and expenses. They can also help them track goals and grow their business.
Chicken themed gifts:
1) Shirts
You can’t go wrong with a fun t-shirtfor most any occassion. In the realm of chicken themed gifts, chicken themed shirts are probably the top choice. Here are some cool chicken themed shirts.
2) Coffee mug
Is your chicken lover also a coffee lover? Getting a chicken themed coffee mug is one of the most awesome (and practical) gifts for chicken lovers that you can choose.
These two are my favorites: The Love Chickens mug and this funny saying chicken mug
3) Socks
Ok, so in terms of chicken themed gifts, these socks may be a little less practical and just a little more fun. But, who doesn’t like fun?
If you are going to get chicken themed socks, just go all in and get these crazy knee high chicken socks!
4) Leggings
