As it’s Easter this week, at Eggshell we’re putting together an egg-cellent competition for all our chicken-keeping champs out there!

For all our loyal customers and other chicken lovers we wanted to offer you a little something special given the time of year– and have a bit of fun too!

Over the years, we’ve loved the pictures some of you have sent to us of you and your feathered friends, so now we’d like you send in a whole bunch – in the hopes of winning a free Kingston Chicken Coop, one of our most popular coops (or another coop you fancy of the same value or less).

Have fun with it, take photos of you and your chickens, chicken feed arranged in a fun way, snap some chick pics - whatever takes your fancy!

To enter:

1. Submit your #chickenpic here.
2. Vote for the #chickenpic you like the most, & share the competition on either Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #chickenpic and tag us @EggshellOnline
3. Then get as many of your friends to vote for you as you can!

How we will decide the winner:

Once you’ve submitted your #chickenpic, you have entered! You are now in for a chance of winning a free chicken coop for your lovely ladies. To be in with a real chance of winning however, you’ll need to get some voting help.

Once your #chickenpic is up, other people can vote for you – friends, family and fans of your #chickenpics! Share the link to this competition page and get them to CLICK HERE to vote! The top 20 voted #chickenpics will then be judged by our select panel for cuteness, awesomeness and a number of other very-scientific criteria.

Once the winner has been decided, they will be notified by email and the winner will be announced (along with their winning #chickenpic) on our website and social media.

Deadline:

The competition will open at 7am Easter Friday and the deadline is 9^th May at 7pm, but of course, since this is a voting competition, getting your picture uploaded quick gives you more time to gain votes! But if your picture is particularly cracking (see what we did there), even if you apply a bit later, you may still have a good chance of being in the running; never fear!

Farewell, and good luck!

You can submit your photo on our polling page from the start date this Friday 14^th April. We cannot wait to see all of your amazing and hilarious #chickenpics, and wish you all the best of luck! Happy snapping!

If there are less than 15 submissions, the competition will be postponed until a later date. 

If you're used to owning outdoor animals like chickens and rabbits, then you'll know just how difficult it is to protect them from predators. We often find ourselves in a catch-22 situation because it's important that we let our animals roam free to keep them healthy and happy, but this is when they are most vulnerable to attack. Foxes, badgers, cats and dogs are all potential hazards to your pet rabbit, so you will need to adapt their cage accordingly to protect them.
