Designing for your "Inner ChIcken"

Is it just me 

or is has the chicken coop become latest 

urban back yard

 "must have"?

Is there a national 

chicken craze happening?

Can you catch it from being around other people who love chickens?

Like the flu?

And if having a coop loaded with clucking hens wasn't enough 

we are now putting carriers, 

statues, towels 

and 

all things chicken

in our homes too

I love the little shed above 

and think it would be a nice design for a chicken coop, 

with roses growing over the lattice topped roof...

and maybe a nice couch and coffee table for the chickens...

slipcovered of course

see.... I have it too!

oh no

the dreaded

chicken syndrome

If you really love your chicken 

you can put a diaper on it

 and it can come in the house 

and play with the kids...

really?

seriously?

 Some people love their chickens so much 

that they let them play 

"dress-up" 

and wear custom designed chicken coats...

so now that I have

come down the dreaded 

chicken virus...

I am finding all sorts of  ways to create a wonderful environment 

surrounded by things 

that will sooth my

"inner chicken"

how about using some chicken wire on your walls...?

this is a wall paper from Peter Fasano

I really like this!  

honest!

I found this little coop at a flea market and added some little red wheels..

it's a fun little table with storage for books

books...schmooks 

 the chickens can sleep in there while I'm running errands

with their diapers on...of course...

silly me

 Chicken collectibles
are pretty fun too

like these old concrete yard ornaments...

and the added bonus of no diaper

how about a custom painted portrait of you 

and your favorite feathered friend Flossie

to grace the walls of your coop...

I mean house

there is now chicken poo poo

lip gloss

what?

and chickens for the kitchen

how about a chicken handbag...any celebrity sightings yet?

Or chicken shoes...

for a night out on the town

these are cute little shoes for your chicken 

in a variety of colors....

guaranteed not to be pecked off

you can find your inner chicken 

in so many ways...how about a hat?

oops

wrong bird

that's better

and of course

how could I not include the iconic wardrobe of every

gal with a serious case of chicken syndrome

the chicken suit

OK so now you know 

when you get chicken syndrome

it may take you a while to get over it

so just go with it...I say

I'm so chicken pooped 

I need to take a nap

on a chicken pillow of course

oops

wrong pillow

sorry

yawn....

cluck...

zzzz...
