Chickens voting for Christmas?

The girls are taking their chicken up to the butcher's in this pic. Which is not quite as terminal as it sounds - it's a musical/mechanical chicken and really belongs to Colin the butcher as part of his Christmas decorations (maybe a future blip there?)

We just have it on loan for the rest of the year for the kids to play with. A chicken's not just for Christmas you know ;-)

The girls thought it was a fair trade - they each made a choccy bar out of the deal!
