What's in that box?


Hello all! Us Chickens have been very busy this week, observing all the goings on in the shop and have some very exciting things to report ...

Last week there were lots and lots of big burly men trundling through the shop pushing trolleys laden with huge cardboard boxes. But one delivery man had a box SO BIG that he couldn't bring it into the shop and instead took it off his lorry with a machine, and then left it outside! It came all the way from Germany and was met with many squeals of delight. We thought it might be more chickens, or worse, small furry "cute" things, but after the initial excitement, we could hear mutterings of "at last!" .. "took it's time" ... and then, returning to more enthusiastic tones "let's put them with the teracotta" ... "they'll look better in the window" ... and then the "oooh'ing" and "ahhhh'ing" began .."oooh, I like that" ... "ooh that's nice" ... "oooh look at this one.."

What could "they" be? we asked ourselves. Surely not more wildlife?

After a while, lots of small cardboard boxes were carried into the shop little by little. You can see them in the picture with Helen who makes sure all the lovely things which arrive (including chickens) are put on the shelves "just so". We like Helen because she is very clever indeed and she loves chickens. Look, you can tell she loves chickens, because as you can see below, Helen is pretending to be one of us! She's testing seating arrangements for us in order to make sure we get the best veiw. I hope she moves those ducks out of the way first though!



After Helen had unpacked the big box, and then all the little boxes, we discovered just what had been causing all the delight and happiness in the shop. Here are some clues. No more chickens, but can you guess what they are?
