Why I Love Chicken-Themed Parties

We have raised chickens on our small Pacific Northwest farm for over 20 years. With plenty of room to roam in our fenced orchard, our chickens have delighted us with fresh, nutritious eggs and amusing antics. Here I am hand-feeding one of our chickens a favorite treat, cracked corn mixed with seeds.

When they were young, our boys would sell eggs to the neighbors and kept track of their profits. It was a great way to teach kids about finances, and they learned social skills as they interacted with their customers. What better way to celebrate a milestone than with a fun chicken themed party? Read on for a list of egg-cellent party ideas for chicken fans!
