Has anyone else ordered this same lighted chicken from TS?

I wanted to get one, but don't know if it's for use outside??? Please let me know if you have the same one and use it outdoors. Thanks!

All of these types of lighted wire decorations are meant to go outside, yeah.

I'm so glad they clarified the regulations so now your chickens are safe and others aren't blindsided like you were. I thought of a suggestion as I was reading through the pages so I'll add this in case someone else is reading looking for ideas when they are in a similar situation: freestanding sculpture.

I remember seeing a picture floating around the internet years ago, a horse owner was denied permission to build a barn/shed/shelter for their horses, so they commissioned a sculptor who then made a giant sized table and chairs set, that the horses could easily walk under for shelter. It looked epic, the horses enjoyed it, and the folks who didn't want a structure built couldn't do anything because it was art.

That is genius!!! I love it!!!

Thanks so much!

Yay! Just ordered the lighted chicken and the 40 lb. ALL FLOCK FEED for my hens, ducks and goose---On sale, so $3. off. I see the darn gov. just raised our taxes and more taken out of hubby's paycheck today, so every penny counts!

Curious on the shipping cost for the feed.

Can't wait to see all these lighted chickens reigning over the 'dark season'!

Not sure...We live less than 3 miles from TS so we're picking up tonight!

Back when COVID started and I was ordering feed with delivery, it was $11. Given that it takes my chickens half a year to go through one bag, the shipping cost is not too much at all. For people with larger flocks it can add up though.

Ohhhh....assumed it was being delivered via UPS or something similar.

Hope it was fresh.....6 months is a long time.
