City Advent Calendar - Day 13
Posted by MeganL,
We've finished the first half of the calendar, and we've got the pieces of some nice indoor and outdoor scenes. I'm still not sure what the Raze's vehicle from Day 11 is, but regardless, let's see what's in store for in Day 13.
We have a chicken roost! I suppose that explains why one of the buildings on the playmat is a barn! This is perfect to place in there. I like seeing the chicken, but that is one enormous egg. If that chicken laid that egg, all I can say is....ouch on behalf of the chicken.
I like the stars as decoration, though!

Nice pieces. Build is a little weird. Why the stars? Are they awards for laying giant ostrich eggs?
Happy Easter everybody! Wait, what?
Nice parts at least, you can never have enough chickens, I imagine there's some sort of back story where the hen has mistaken a wreath for a nest. Hence the stars.
I wonder which came first?

The Egg. Anyway, anything involving chickinz is fun!
Maybe it is a nod to the French Hens from the 12 days of Christmas? Or maybe it is supposed to be the Partridge since there is only 1…
Also could that vehicle from day 11 represent a mini version of a Zamboni? The front portion are supposed to be the blades that resurface the ice?
Super excited about extra wildlife though…eggs are always welcome too.
I think the chicken roost is shaped and decorated like that to fit in with the holiday theming, as it’s now basically a nice wreath. The stars don’t serve a purpose to the chickens but they just add a festive touch.
The stars are a little odd. But before looking at the photo more closely, I thought there's some straw here. So maybe that's what they are supposed to represent?
The size dissonance between Lego chickens and Lego eggs has always amused me, especially when it's made blindingly obvious by putting the two in close proximity, as in this one or 60344.
"If that chicken laid that egg..." ... chicken? I don't know how things are being done in GB, but here in Europe it is the "hen" who lays eggs. 'Cos you know, biology... ;-)
@BrickInTheEye I saw Creme Eggs for sale in B+M the other day so it's definitely Easter now !
Birb.
It looks like a Christmas wreath to me. A roost should be more vertical.
Maybe the stars are supposed to be straw? I also think they need to make smaller eggs. That egg works great for Dino’s but not chickens.

'Chicken' is the species. 'Hen' is a female chicken.
@StyleCounselor:
Stars are the universal cartoon symbol for pain.
@ferda:
I don’t know how it works in the UK, but in the US, the chicken is the species, and hens and roosters are the symbols they paint on the restroom doors. Because, you know, biology.
Everyone do yourself a favor and look up kiwi eggs compared to body size. Maybe this is a recombinant chicken with kiwi DNA.

Chicken, hen, rooster- they're all chickens and the rooster has sex with all of them...
That's perverse!!

@StyleCounselor:
The rooster has sex with other roosters? That better be consensual. Chicken prison involves a crust.
