Birthday ideas for a chicken beginner

[Chookin gooood]

I have a friend who is going to get her first chickens soon! It is also her birthday soon so was thinking of getting her something to so with chickens (basic must-haves, handy things!)

so, what are some good birthday ideas for a chicken newbee?!

Is she getting chicks or full grown hens?

Shavings, shavings, shavings, and more shavings. I don't know about everyone else but I go through so many shavings that I would be thrilled to get these for my birthday.

There are some very good books about chickens. Tractor Supply has a good selection.

My husband gave me a Tractor Supply gift card for Easter and I've had a great time shopping. It allowed me to get those "cutesy" things that I normally wouldn't buy.

Farm store and Hatchery gift cards are always a hit!!! I want a Meyer hatchery gift card for mothers day

An egg scale- isn't exactly a must have, but they are so fun to have! I want one for my birthday. your TSC might have some, and I know mypetchicken.com has one. You could probably find one on amazon too.

how about having people chip in a few days before and buy lumber and a few nail guns and nails and have a coop building party? build a coop for them. also if they want a run get either dog panels or fencing and make the run for them.
