There are two types of chicken owners in the world: Those who have a few backyard chickens as a fun, casual hobby, and those who immediately make chickens their whole personality. I’m (proudly) in the latter category, so when the holidays roll around, most of my loved ones opt to get me chicken-themed gifts. I’ve gotten everything from a chicken-shaped bird feeder to chicken socks, and I’ve received this chicken lady sweater no less than three times!
If you’re shopping for someone who loves chickens, there’s no shortage of poultry-themed presents out there. There’s lots of cute chicken home decor, useful coop accessories, and chicken clothing that you can gift your favorite chicken lover, and if you’re looking for some fun ideas, the following are a variety of the best chicken gifts that they’re sure to love—I know I do!
A Custom Egg Carton Stamp
Any chicken owner who sells their eggs needs a custom egg carton stamp—it makes a sweet personalized touch for their farmstand. I’ve personally ordered one of these stamps for myself (as pictured above) and can confirm that it’s well made and will last for years. Bonus points if you pair it with an ink pad so they can use it right away!
A Cute Embroidered Sweatshirt
If you’re going to get a chicken sweater, I highly recommend an embroidered one. Not only do embroidered sweaters look a little more high-end, but I’ve also found that they wash better. This one is particularly cute, and it comes in a variety of colors and sizes.
A Daily Egg Organizer
It’s easy to get overrun with eggs, especially if you have several chickens. Soon, there are eggs all over your counter, and it’s hard to keep track of which ones are new and which are old. This handy organizer helps solve that problem — it has individual compartments for each day of the week, so you can make sure you’re using oldest eggs first.
An Automatic Coop Door
For the person who always leaves the party early to “put their chickens to bed” — oops, it’s me — an automatic coop door is the ultimate gift. It will automatically shut the coop on a set schedule, then open it again in the morning. I’ve used this particular coop door for more than four years now, and it’s incredibly reliable and secure, helping to keep chickens safe from predators.
Adorable Socks That Give Back
For an inexpensive yet thoughtful gift, I love Conscious Step socks. Not only are the socks thick and cozy, but they come in a variety of cute patterns that all help support charitable causes. This particular pair is decorated with a chicken motif, and a portion of each sale is donated to Farm Sanctuary, an organization that helps rescue farm animals.
A Warm, Huggable Chicken
Warmies are technically for kids, but honestly, I wouldn’t complain about having one for myself! These adorable plush animals have a subtle, soothing weight that’s just right to hug, and you can also microwave them for a warm, cozy snuggling experience.
A Cookbook All About Eggs
Many chicken owners end up with more eggs than they know what to do with, resorting to pawning them off on friends, family, and neighbors. This egg-centric cookbook makes a great gift for anyone who’s kitchen is overflowing with fresh eggs—it has more than 100 recipes to help use up their supply, as well as instructions for preserving eggs.
Muck Boots for the Coop
As long as I’ve owned chickens, I’ve had a pair of Muck Boots to wear in the coop. These slip-on boots are comfortable and waterproof, and they’re easy to hose off if they get covered in dirt or chicken poop. This particular pair even comes in a cute chicken print, making it the perfect gift for any chicken owner.
A Vintage Chicken Candy Dish
One of the best chicken gifts I’ve ever received is one of these vintage chicken candy dishes. They’re made from glass and come in a wide range of sizes and colors, and you can often find them at antique shops. There are some available on Etsy, if you want to order online, but I think half the fun is hunting one down locally.
Farmhouse-Style Kitchen Towels
These are some of my favorite kitchen towels—it’s just an added bonus that they have a cute chicken pattern. They come in a pack of three and are made from 100% cotton, so they’re nice and absorbent, and I think they’d be a great stocking stuffer.
An Egg-Shaped Spoon Rest
This egg-shaped spoon rest is sure to come in handy while working in the kitchen. It’s handmade by a ceramic artist in California, and you can choose from two yolk colors—orange or yellow—as well as versions with or without seasoning. So cute!
A Nesting Box Ornament
This inexpensive nesting box ornament will look adorable hanging on anyone’s holiday tree. It features four cute chickens sitting on eggs, and it comes with a little piece of twine for hanging.
A Book on “Chickenology”
This book is equal parts adorable and informational. It’s packed full of fun illustrations, but it also provides lots of useful information about chickens, including details on different breeds, chicken anatomy, benefits of raising chickens, and more.
A Ceramic Chicken Figurine
I had my eye on these ceramic chicken figurines for months before I caved and bought one for myself, and I can confirm that they’re just as pretty in person as they look online. The handmade designs are available in a few colors and styles, but keep in mind that they ship from Poland, so you’ll want to place your order early to make sure it arrives on time.
Cool Chicken Earrings
I first discovered Delicacies thanks to their fun pasta earrings, and much to my delight, they make chicken jewelry, too! These precious studs are made from sterling silver plated in 14K yellow gold, and part of each purchase is donated to charity, helping to provide meals to those in need.
A Poster of Chicken Breeds
There are so many chicken breeds out there, and most chicken owners find it very tempting to try to collect as many as possible. (Guilty.) This poster of chicken breeds will give them something to strive for—and it will also look nice hanging on the wall in their home.
A Cute Chicken Mug
When in doubt, a coffee mug is always a good gift—especially when paired with a nice bag of coffee beans! This stoneware mug can hold around 10 ounces, and it has a sweet little chicken on the side, as well as the phrase “Rise & Shine” inside the lip. Just be aware that it ships from the U.K., so double-check delivery dates to make sure it will arrive on time.
These Precious Pajamas
Every once in a while, Instagram shows me ads that are 150% something that I would buy, and that’s exactly how I discovered these pajamas. These luxurious PJs are made from 100% organic cotton poplin, and they’re covered in the sweetest chicken-themed print. I will admit that they’re pricey, but I think they’re worth the splurge if you want a special gift for your loved one.
Handcrafted Drinking Glasses
I never cease to be amazed by people’s artistic talent—just look at the detail on these hand-blown chicken figurines! The colorful birds are mounted in the bottom of drinking glasses, and the set of three includes a chicken, rooster, and baby chick. (They do ship from overseas, though, so again, check those delivery dates!)
A Super-Squishy Plush
If you’ve never heard of the brand, Jellycat makes super cute plushies and is really popular in the U.K. While I’m not necessarily a stuffed animal person, I will admit that Cecile the Chicken is really stinkin’ cute and would make a great gift for both adults and kids.
A Rustic Coop Sign
This rustic sign would look great hanging on any chicken coop, and it’s surprisingly inexpensive. However, it’s worth noting that this sign isn’t actually made from pieces of license plates—it’s just printed to look that way. If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, I think it would be cool to create a real version with scrap plates!
A Beautiful Watercolor Print
I firmly believe that you can never go wrong gifting someone artwork! This beautiful watercolor print features several chickens frolicking in the garden, and the artist personally signs and numbers all her prints. Just pop it in a frame, and voila, a thoughtful gift for your favorite chicken owner.
Embroidered Napkins
These embroidered linen napkins would be a unique gift for anyone who loves hosting special events. They come in a set of six, eight, or 12, and they’ll all embroidered with majestic roosters.
An Ode To Raising Chickens
This book is described as “a blend of chicken-keeping memoir and culture reporting by a journalist who accidentally became obsessed with her flock.” It contains the stories of many different chicken owners, and it’s sure to tug on the heart strings of anyone who loves their birds.
An Egg Storage System
This rustic storage rack is a useful gift for anyone whose chickens lay lots of eggs. You put new eggs in the top, and they’ll slowly roll down to the bottom to be taken out as needed. This ensures the older eggs are always used first—and it also makes for a fun display on their counter.
This Cute Embroidery Kit
If you’re shopping for someone who loves crafting and chickens, this embroidery kit combines their two hobbies into one. The kit comes with everything needed to create the pretty chicken-themed design, including detailed instructions, a hoop, needle, pre-printed fabric, and more.
An Incubator to Hatch More Chickens
Let’s be honest: Most chicken owners really just want more chickens. (I know I do!) The easiest way to feed their obsession is to gift them an incubator, which they can use to hatch chicks whenever they want. In that way, it’s really one of the best gifts on this list.
Personalized Note Cards
These personalized note cards are perfect for sending “thank you” notes or corresponding with loved ones who live far away. You can choose from several quantities, as well as flat or folded cards, and they come with matching envelopes for mailing.
