And now, a chicken wearing a scarf.

Dawn M. of the Dawn and Drew show (!!!) sent in her lil’ pal "Chicken McNugget Domkus" wearing a little scarf for the cold Wisconsin winter. Of course she is!

Mcscarf

I have a soft spot for chick-ons, Dawn—how’d you know!? ;)

    Could she be any cuter?

  2. g-lo says:

    Why not? My kittehs have scarves! Chicken McNugget Domkus looks adorable!

  3. Rosie says:

    i’d do that for my chickens, but i have waaaaaaay too many and most of them are hard to catch.

  4. Mel says:

    It’s like cold turkey but it’s a chicken instead.

  5. Beautiful Drunk says:

    So Cozy! I really, really want to scratch the top of her puffy little head.

  6. Nora says:

    Impossible… for this Chick to be cuter!!!

  7. Mel says:

    I think she needs a lil cap. She seems to be having a “bad feather day.”

  8. chacha says:

    That is, without a doubt, the cutest chicken I’ve ever seen. Please, what breed? So when I move out the country and start assembling my menagerie (the list is getting long, thanks Meg!!), I know what to get …

  9. Aluriaphin says:

    Whoot! Only four other posts! Sooo McFluffersons!

  10. Golden says:

    I wanna see what her little face looks like

  11. Laura says:

    My bf’s worlds and mine collide again! He loves the D&D podcast, I obsessively check CO and make him watch (and we have 4 contendor kittehs for images)–so this is too prosh!

  12. chacha says:

    Um, that’s move out TO the country … not move out OF the country. They still let people have chickens here in the USA. Thank goodness.

  13. marsheeeee says:

    OMG. She is a cutie! Ok. That’s it. I’m swearing off McNuggets for life (which come to think of it is not that hard to do, really…).

  14. bee says:

    i was having a horrible day
    and i didn’t think anything could cheer me up. But you know what? Chicken in a scarf. too cute

  15. Mary says:

    She needs a little knitted vest too. Maybe pink and white plaid.

  16. Sven says:

    That chicken looks to be tired from a long day of barnstorming in her Sopwith Camel.

  17. j says:

    boo. KATG all the way

  18. Theo says:

    Sven — er… so this is Snoopy Chicken?

  19. Erica says:

    That’s a silkie, isn’t it?

  20. DanS says:

    That’s one chic chick in her snuggly winter scarf.

  21. Valeria says:

    And now for something completely different. Back to you Bob.

  22. Carlisa says:

    Looks like McNugget has been in to the dipping sauce! *hic*

  23. drew says:

    > Please, what breed?

    Chicken McNugget Domkus is a buff silkie bantam

  24. Petafoo.com says:

    Doesn’t that chicken know you can’t wear a red scarf with those feet. :)

    Bok Bok indeed.

  26. Jessarakitty says:

    I didn’t know silkies came in bantams. My grandma always had a soft spot for banties, and whenever they moved to a new farm, she made sure she got a ‘setting’ of banty eggs to start her out. I bet she would have LOVED these. And she was wonderful at crochet; she’d have had a little coat on CMD before you knew it. Sigh. Nostalgia time…

  27. Susan says:

    I can’t tell which end is which.

  29. musicchick2 says:

    OR we could contact Austrian Edgar Honetschlaeger who designs chicken suits! “A range of fashion clothing for chickens has been launched by a group of designers working in Austria and Japan. Austrian Edgar Honetschlaeger said he decided to work with the Japanese on the project because he hoped to make the chicken label clothing essential.

    He said “It’s something that you don’t really need but everyone wants to have anyway.”

    :-O ROTFLMAO!!

    Check it out! http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1417224.html

  30. Am I the only one that wants to snuggle with that chicken? :D !

  31. musicchick2 says:

    See short video where “Honetschläger puts ERNI on stage in a Japanese chickenssuit, while the VIENNA CHOIR BOYS are twittering a Turkish folk song”

    http://www.honetschlaeger.com/project/chicken.php

    I would not have believed it if I hadn’t seen if wif my own eyeballs! CWAZY, that Herr Honetschlaeger! CWAZY, I say!

  32. miu says:

    So nice to meet you, Miss Chicken McNugget Domkus!

    What a beau-utiful scarf you have! Did you make it yourself? It is soo becoming…just love the color…

    YAY for chicks with scarfs!

  33. luckycliff says:

    *blink* am I the only person who doesn’t exactly recognize what is in this picture???
    *rubs eyes* *cleans glasses* *sighs and gives up*

  34. Lauri says:

    *SHReeeeeeek*

    Is it a coincidence that I have been thinking all day about what breeds of chickens I will be getting this spring? I think NOT!!

    Loves da chicks!!! bukbukbuk

  35. punkpie says:

    this scarf reminds me of the tree sweater… equally REDonk!

  36. Theo says:

    LuckyCliff — it’s a chicken wearing a scarf… or so I have read.
    ;)

  37. Lauri says:

    Oh, yes, punkpie! Thanks for the reminder! :)

    Ashlee, do you see this chicken???

  38. drew says:

    there’s a few more pictures of “chicken scarf day” over here:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/drewdomkus/sets/72157594424039920/

    CMD has become a bit broody which is why it was easier to keep the scarf on her. the other two chickens didn’t want them on at all.

  39. jenner says:

    aw, so cute!!!!!! Not only do I love this site because I can look at tons of animals, but I no longer feel like I’m the only person who gets all squishy when I see them – next time someone makes fun of me for talking to the squirrels & pigeons or stopping to play with people’s dogs on the sidewalk, I’M POINTING THEM TO THIS SITE LOL

  40. TOO CUTE!

  41. michellemybelle says:

    My sister taught me how to knit over Christmas, and now it’s clear what I must make: scarves for animals. The link to “Chicken Scarf Day” warms my cold heart. I heart Dawn & Drew! (and CMD)

  42. pyrit says:

    luckycliff – A Cute-security level of 3 or higher is required to view this picture. Or, a Cuteologist Degree, of which there are only a few Bachelors here. Not to hen-peck you, but, … ;-)

  43. Angela P. says:

    Okay, I couldn’t even figure out what this animal was for about 10 seconds. (perhaps if i’d read the captions first instead of staring open-mouthed at what i was sure was an alien life form…)

  44. Aubrey says:

    A yummy cranberry scarf. Just in time for the cold feather.

  45. Mary says:

    Chicken McNugget Domkus the showbiz chicken! Looking good buddy! D&D + CO = my <3

  46. Lauri says:

    I award this pic the Poul-itzer Prize.

    Cluck you very much.

  47. R. Moore says:

    I have an entire wool skien left over from Christmas… Where’s my crochet hook?!

    My chickens will not be out done :P

  48. sarah says:

    that’s beyond adorable lol.

  49. Luckycliff says:

    LOLOL @ pyrit… Agent Teho please advise on my pending promotion to “Double Ought” status and also request “Eyes only” clearance to view nutmeg’s buns… thank you for your attention to this matter…
    Cliff

  50. EricaE says:

    OMG! That is the floofiest schweetest chicky EVAR!

    I lurrrves eet!

  51. Danielle says:

    Right away I’m reminded of Jim Henson’s work. Real life Big Bird? Perhaps!

  52. Aubrey says:

    Chicken of the Chic

  53. leah says:

    But the beek is so pointy. I thinks it’s strange for a choock to wear a scarf.
    I likey the fluff though.

    But I like KATG much better!

  54. Carlisa says:

    Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t tell what this pic was at first. Looked like a bunny hopping down a hole, but then I couldn’t figure what the scarf was tied around…?…um…never mind

  55. ezreader says:

    Lauri – I think you mean the Pullet Surprise! Chuck-le, chuck-le

  56. pyrit says:

    Luckycliff – Yes, the proper au-theo-rity can check your doc-cute-mentation. Good pluck!

    Carlisa – You made me laugh!
    That was a coffee-spiller!

    Great puns all. A close-knit thread of purls.

  57. jaypo says:

    She’s adorable in her grumpiness and red scarf. Chickens are really just the best, so much fun to watch.

  58. rowan says:

    She DOES seem a bit of a grump this morning, doesn’t she? Maybe she wanted a blue scarf… or perhaps a little hat with ear flaps?

  59. ceebs says:

    oh my god. you have a chicken named Ruth. lmfao!

  60. mel says:

    Thats the most beautifull chicken i ever saw!
    It actually looks fluffy – never thought a chicken could look so cute.

  61. Lauri says:

    ezreader! Hahahaha!

  62. Lauri says:

    Wuul, Meg! Those are MY chickens! I have four Barred Rocks, too! Awesome girls! :)

  63. shel says:

    that is the ridiculously fluffiest chicken ever. it looks like an angora chicken.

  64. jaypo says:

    “Pullet Surprise”? *that* deserves one!!

  65. Subhangi says:

    LOL!!! It took me a while to find the chicken! The feathers look so much like fur I thought it was a bunny.

  66. pyrit says:

    jaypo – ooooohhhh!!!!!:
    “jay” = “J.” (for Joseph).
    “po” = “P.” (for Pulitzer).

  67. jaypo says:

    You found me out. I’m channeling from Atlantis.

  68. Mam Adar says:

    Best chicken picture EVAR!!1!!! It is now gracing my desktop at work.

  69. Villy says:

    Ooh! A silkie!!!

    My adopted mom has some. ONe used to stay in the house, because the other chickens turned on her. She was badly beaten, and almost frozen to death to boot. So we brought her in, named her Downy, and she followed me around like a puppy.

    Oh, and she liked to Dance to Bohemian Rhapsody. She’d do this cute little waddle-in-a-circle dance, but only to that song.

    Yay silkies!

  70. fatal_fluffy says:

    oh my head! I probably would’ve gotten the scarf on the tail-end since the chicken looks like a pile of fluff with 2 similar-looking pointy ends.

    musicchick2 — I followed the link for chickensuit.com from the Honetschlaeger link. Hilarious!

  71. emilie says:

    that is one fluufffiee chicken. peck!

  72. pyrit says:

    musucchick2 – I agree with ff. Your comments and the link are hilarious. You deserve a Bok-boktorate Degree in Cuteology.

  73. AuntieMame says:

    Are these the chickens that have feathery little spats on their feet?

    And wasn’t there a Muppet that looked kinda like this?

  74. Jesse (outlawboy) says:

    im so glad she made it =)

    and, im so glad she has so many comments!! yay for chicken mcnugget domkus! =D
