We’ve rounded up the best gifts for chicken lovers – perfect for birthday or Christmas gifts!
I love my chickens – they work hard and they give us fresh eggs almost every single day! I’ve written about my Top 10 Things I Love About Chickens and I’d bet you will agree with my list. Now I’ve got great gifts for a chicken lover that I want to pass along to you.
There may even be a couple things on there you hadn’t thought of…..yet. So if you’ve got friends raising chickens in their backyards, read on for some great ideas for your chicken-loving friend.
Gifts for Chicken Lovers
I love chickens! And because I think you do too (or someone you love does), here are some perfect gifts for the Chicken Lover in your life!
Whether you know a crazy chicken lady with a great sense of humor (who would love a pair of chicken socks!) or you’ve got a passionate chicken lover friend who would appreciate a chicken t-shirt, we’ve got you covered!
Want to find some chicken themed home decor items, such as kitchen canisters and chicken wire lanterns? Head over here and find these and more!
If you’re looking for some awesome Christmas gifts, or your special chicken lover is having a birthday, you’ll find the perfect presents, treats and treasures right here.
First, a Freebie
Let’s start off with something free that is always appreciated by chicken owners! This free thing is….egg cartons! Yes, everyone who has backyard chickens loves getting egg cartons. When we’ve got a flock of hens here, we are often over run with fresh eggs.
And we never seem to have enough egg cartons on hand. So if you are buying eggs (from the store or a farm stand) please save your empty cartons. Then, pass them along to your chicken loving friend – we can guarantee they will never turn them away!
Anyone with a backyard flock can always use extra egg cartons. Plus, they’re easy to store, so save your cartons to pass along!
Great Gift Ideas for Chicken Lovers
Slogger Chicken Rubber Boots
1600+ reviews
Amazon.com
Sloggers Chicken Lovin’ Boots – Made in the USA, they are a bit wider in the leg than regular rubber boots. This gives me plenty of room to tuck the legs of my jeans in without them bunching up.
They’re made from recycled rubber, they have awesome insoles and they work great in the mud.
Even better? If they EVER wear out, you just return them to Sloggers and they will recycle them into a new pair. What’s not to love about that?
I have the red chicken boots, just like the photo. They’re awesome!

Amazon.com
One of the top selling egg incubators, this Brinsea incubator holds 24 eggs and automatically turns.

The Egg Collecting Apron
40+ reviews
Amazon.com
I should have bought one of these egg gathering aprons years ago. Have you ever collected eggs in your pockets, then without thinking, bend down to pick something up?
Really, really not good. Raw egg is awful to have to clean out of jacket pockets. Get one of these instead. You can’t go wrong with an egg apron if you have lots of laying hens!

Slogging down to the barn 3 times a day to break ice for the girls to have some water isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. ( I know, I know)
