Optimus Prime Chicken Coop: Chickens in Disguise

Doctor Who already has his own chicken coop, so why shouldn’t the Autobots? Well, thanks to one enterprising farmer/geek, they now do. A dude going by the name “Tez” created this awesome chicken coop made up to look just like Optimus Prime (in truck mode that is).

While it won’t transform into a standing mech, it will keep chickens in check and help them stay fat and happy while they lay their eggs.

All it needs is an ion blaster to fire at any approaching foxes (or Decepticons), and it’ll be perfect. Check out more pictures of the Optimus Prime chicken coop here.

TARDIS Chicken Coop Has Jumbo Eggs on the Inside

Now I have to admit that I’ve not watched every episode of Doctor Who ever, but I just don’t seem to recall seeing an episode where the Doctor has a farm and raised chickens. Maybe I just missed that one. If the good Doctor had ever been a farmer, this is what his chicken coop would look like.

This TARDIS chicken coop was built by DaveNinja, and looks just like the Doctor’s time-and-spaceship, except for the part where it’s got chicken wire in the windows, and wood shavings to absorb chicken poop on the floor. Other than that, it’s just like it.

I wonder if the hens inside have traveled around the universe and throughout time while laying their eggs. The renaissance ordered a ham and cheese omelet? Coming right up. Adam and Eve on a raft for Genghis Khan? Sure, no problem!

‘Chicks in Hats’ Shows Off a Multitude of Chicken Personalities, in Hats

Don’t expect a gallery of human chicks in hats, because this post is going to be about actual chicks in hats. You know, baby chickens.

Chicks in Hats2If you’ve seen chicks in real life before, then you know how hard it is to get them to stay put. Which is why I think Julie Persons did a fantastic job capturing them in all sorts of poses with wacky hats on their heads in her new photo series, ‘Chicks in Hats.’

Check out the gallery for more awesome shots of the chicks.
