And now, a chicken wearing a scarf.

by Meg on January 8, 2007

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 01.08.07 at 11:03 pm

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

3 Rosie 01.08.07 at 11:07 pm

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

4 Mel 01.08.07 at 11:08 pm

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

5 Beautiful Drunk 01.08.07 at 11:14 pm

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

6 Nora 01.08.07 at 11:16 pm

Impossible… for this Chick to be cuter!!!

7 Mel 01.08.07 at 11:18 pm

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

8 chacha 01.08.07 at 11:23 pm

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 01.08.07 at 11:24 pm

Whoot! Only four other posts! Sooo McFluffersons!

10 Golden 01.08.07 at 11:24 pm

I wanna see what her little face looks like

11 Laura 01.08.07 at 11:24 pm

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 01.08.07 at 11:25 pm

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 01.08.07 at 11:26 pm

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 01.08.07 at 11:27 pm

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 01.08.07 at 11:35 pm

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

16 Sven 01.08.07 at 11:36 pm

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

17 j 01.08.07 at 11:39 pm

boo. KATG all the way

18 Theo 01.08.07 at 11:40 pm

Sven — er… so this is Snoopy Chicken?

19 Erica 01.08.07 at 11:46 pm

That’s a silkie, isn’t it?

20 DanS 01.08.07 at 11:51 pm

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

21 Valeria 01.08.07 at 11:51 pm

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

22 Carlisa 01.08.07 at 11:59 pm

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

23 drew 01.09.07 at 12:24 am

> Please, what breed?

Chicken McNugget Domkus is a buff silkie bantam

24 Petafoo.com 01.09.07 at 12:25 am

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

Bok Bok indeed.

26 Jessarakitty 01.09.07 at 12:36 am

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 01.09.07 at 12:53 am

I can’t tell which end is which.

29 musicchick2 01.09.07 at 1:17 am

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!!

30 Tracy M aka Fuzzball 01.09.07 at 1:30 am

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

31 musicchick2 01.09.07 at 1:31 am

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

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 01.09.07 at 1:53 am

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 01.09.07 at 2:18 am

*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 01.09.07 at 2:19 am

*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 01.09.07 at 2:23 am

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

36 Theo 01.09.07 at 2:24 am

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

37 Lauri 01.09.07 at 2:25 am

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

Ashlee, do you see this chicken???

38 drew 01.09.07 at 2:46 am

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 01.09.07 at 2:50 am

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 Please Eat My Pies 01.09.07 at 2:56 am

TOO CUTE!

41 michellemybelle 01.09.07 at 3:13 am

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 01.09.07 at 4:18 am

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. 01.09.07 at 4:22 am

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 01.09.07 at 4:42 am

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

45 Mary 01.09.07 at 4:52 am

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

46 Lauri 01.09.07 at 4:56 am

I award this pic the Poul-itzer Prize.

Cluck you very much.

47 R. Moore 01.09.07 at 5:04 am

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 01.09.07 at 6:00 am

that’s beyond adorable lol.

49 Luckycliff 01.09.07 at 6:22 am

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…

50 EricaE 01.09.07 at 6:25 am

OMG! That is the floofiest schweetest chicky EVAR!

I lurrrves eet!

51 Danielle 01.09.07 at 7:04 am

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

52 Aubrey 01.09.07 at 8:32 am

Chicken of the Chic

53 leah 01.09.07 at 9:11 am

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 01.09.07 at 11:20 am

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 01.09.07 at 12:21 pm

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

56 pyrit 01.09.07 at 1:32 pm

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 01.09.07 at 1:50 pm

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

58 rowan 01.09.07 at 2:05 pm

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 01.09.07 at 2:42 pm

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

60 mel 01.09.07 at 2:47 pm

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

61 Lauri 01.09.07 at 3:02 pm

ezreader! Hahahaha!

62 Lauri 01.09.07 at 3:04 pm

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

63 shel 01.09.07 at 3:22 pm

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

64 jaypo 01.09.07 at 3:44 pm

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

65 Subhangi 01.09.07 at 4:21 pm

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 01.09.07 at 4:31 pm

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

67 jaypo 01.09.07 at 4:38 pm

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

68 Mam Adar 01.09.07 at 4:40 pm

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

69 Villy 01.09.07 at 5:07 pm

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 01.09.07 at 6:45 pm

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 01.09.07 at 7:07 pm

that is one fluufffiee chicken. peck!

72 pyrit 01.09.07 at 8:23 pm

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

73 AuntieMame 01.09.07 at 8:47 pm

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) 01.10.07 at 11:52 pm

im so glad she made it =)

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