Extraordinary Chickens 2020 Wall Calendar

best ever - got it as a joke. Ha Ha joke is on my sister these are awesome chickens

Hilarious and brilliant every year. My new boss had last year's calendar and I was jealous, this year she couldnt find it in stores so I surprised her with this. She was floored and so happy. THis random calendar will be great for any vegan or vegetarian friend (also a little mocking LOL) great for a white elephant gift and a great price too. You cant help but laugh no matter who you are looking at these wacky little guys!

What can I say, I love my chickens and have about 22 different breeds. I love the variety of them and this book illustrates the diversity of this species with wonderful art quality pics. It is definitely a table top book.

I have purchased this book for years in a normal size. This arrived like 4” x 6”....takes away the whole impact. I’m sure and admit I did not see the size listed but am sure it was. The cover etc are the same. It makes no sense to have such pictures vs the normal photographic format size. I returned the book.

I have bought this calendar for a few years now, the photos of the chickens are really nice and they are unusual chickens - at least I think so. Nice big spaces to write things in the days. I'll keep on purchasing every year.

The photographs are hit or miss. Overall they seem hastily done with some bizarre choices of cropping and filters from photoshop (the silkie chicken looks greasy and prickly. weird.) I would recommend a different calendar. Perhaps the photography books of Extraordinary Chickens are better! I wanted to love this, but am very disappointed :(

Our mailman at work has chickens and is obsessed. I casually came across this when looking at calendars and I had to get it for him for X-mas. He enjoyed it and it made his day!

As always- the true personalities and beauty of our favorite purebred birds shine from the pages of this glorious work. Thank goodness, such an artist exists to bring out the perfection of these birds.

I got this book for my 11 year old son, who absolutely adores chickens. (We even have a pet backyard flock of our own who gives us hours of delight and entertainment just with their comical antics.) So if chickens are your thing, this is the perfect book for you. It shows mainly amazing photographs of these birds in a variety of settings. The only complaint I have about it was that it is not thick enough. (That's why the author wrote a sequel.) This is one book that will keep you busy admiring the beautiful birds within for a while. It is designed for people who appreciate chickens for something other than how they taste roasted on a bed of rice.

I don't remember when or where I first saw this book, but the thought of a book dedicated to exotic chickens was fascinating. I held off buying until I found it used from a seller. Okay. Exotic CHICKENS??? I'm just a city girl who thought chickens were tasty and gave us eggs. But there are folks out there who take their chickens seriously, and these birds are breathtakingly beautiful if not a little weird. Tall, short, fluffy, skinny, whiskered, bearded. And the patterns and colors on these birds make me just go "whoa". Really, I could not have imagined these birds actually existed. Go figure.

Bought this for a Christmas white elephant gift, was well received and enjoyed. The pictures are very nice too so all is well. I would not hesitate to reorder this.

Beautiful photos if you like chickens I didn’t know I love chickens but I love the photos on this calendar.

This was a gift for a friend who raises chickens. She liked it and said one of the pictures looks like one of her chickens.

Love this calendar... Buy it every year - one for home, one for the office, one as a gift.

These chickens are wack. Why do they look like this? No matter the reason, they make a great addition to my office.

Gave this to my in laws for Christmas - they are crazy chicken people and they LOVED it!

Beautiful book....I already have a copy but got this one for a friend who told me she likes chickens.... Where we live has lots of chickens...who are not always appreciated by residents and tourists...However, there are some of us who love them..

I'm really into having entertaining books on my coffee table, and this book is hilarious. The title itself, and that ridiculous cover picture, will capture the eye of any guest sitting on your couch. The book was smaller than I anticipated (I didn't really look at the dimensions of the book before I got it) - it's tiny. It's a little bigger than the palm of your hand. But the pictures are bright and colorful and it is a very entertaining little picture book to flip through. Highly recommend! And I guess if you're actually really into chickens, this could potentially be educational too :P

Delivery updates provided as needed and delivered when expected. Great service and product.

I got this book not because I intend to raise chickens or anything but because I was fascinated by the different varieties. A friend who raises them had this book and I had to pick it up. The photographs are great and it brings a smile to everyone that picks it up. I also bought his calendar for 2016 which is also great.

I love this book. I sent it to a friend who has a poultry rescue farm. He loved it.

Great book for people who love chickens! It's all photos, with very little to actually read, so don't buy it looking for information. But if you enjoy looking at amazing breeds of chickens, you'll love this (I'd love to see his pictures in a book about chickens as pets--few people appreciate the affectionate, endearing, and comical nature of these birds). If you DON'T like chickens you will probably find the pictures somewhat horrifying, as some breeds are really strange-looking (think the chicken equivalent of bulldogs or shar-peis, or other weird "purebred" mutations). This is a really fun book by an extremely talented photographer.

I'm not into chickens but bought this as a joke because my boss said my original calendar was vulgar. But everyone loves this one and comes to my desk to see what the chicken of the month looks like. Great calendar, I'll definitely but next year's too.

This is not an important book, but it is very enjoyable. It introduces us to the amazing (and, for me, hitherto unexpected) diversity among different types of chickens. It is a wonderful tribute to the variety and beauty that can be developed by either natural selection or selective breeding. Or, if you are creationist in your outlook, it is a wonderful example of the Creator's whimsy. The book is mostly photographs; there are some some brief descriptions of the types photographed, and a little general background text - but basically, it is a photography book.

Everyone enjoys the rustic pictures that we have by our kitchen

I loved the Magnificent Chicken book so much from my library I bought it through Amazon and then looked for another book with even more pictures and even more chickens. This is a great book even though I have no intention of ever having a chicken. It helps me be a little more sympathetic at 3 am when the rooster down the hill starts singing.

I buy the chicken calendars almost every year. They are gorgeous. I don't particularly have a thing for chickens, but I really like the pictures on these calendars.

I love this calendar. It's nice and big and you can write things in. But I would buy it no matter what for the chickens! Excellent quality big photo's, beautiful birds and quite comical.

This was a gift for someone I knew liked these chickens. She loved it! The pictures were great. While fascinating, not sure how many other people would enjoy it. I think it’s a niche market.

Received calendar, really like it until I realized its a 2019...! I feel stupid, but so should the people that sold it to me!

Bought this for my neice....good quality, great pics....handsome clucks!!! Very good product!!

Haha. My son raises chickens so this was perfect for his desk

A different fancy chicken every month.

Great wall calendar, especially if you like chickens! Delightful pictures of our feathered friends!

These chickens are truly extraordinary! A friend had the calendar and I have loved it and purchased it ever since both for myself and as gifts. Its unusual in a delightful way. Every month brings a new crazy looking chicken to entertain you every time you look at it. The layout of the pages is also decorative in nice natural complementary colors, and not just a plain white calendar grid slapped on. Worth every penny!

Inside of calendar is checkered. Was not expected, but I like it. Pictures are great.

This book is A LOT smaller than you think. I thought I'd get a nice gift book for my friend who has some pet chickens. It's "okay" but not the "coffee table book quality" that I thought it'd be. If I'd seen this in the bookstore, I would've passed on it.

Good pictures

Highly recommend.

My son loves this calendar, which we gave him. The photos are superb, and the chickens are blow away exotic, and very beautiful!the paper is sturdy, and has a nice semi gloss finish. The whole thing looks elegant, if you can imagine "chickens" being elegant! I bought this for him last year,2014, and he asked for it again for 2015! Everyone who sees it is impressed by the diversity of the chicks, and the fine quality of the photos! This blows me away, and I'm going to get one for myself!

If you have any interest in beautiful birds of any species, I suspect you will like this book. The photography is of the highest quality and Mr. Green-Armytage has a wonderful way of presenting the birds as special characters, not just standard poses. He has done a wonderful job of selecting a wide variety of lovely chickens from both British and American poultry shows. There is just enough text to whet one's interest in the breeds. Unfortunately, the index only has page numbers for the photos. Descriptions of the birds need to be hunted up on your own. But you bought it for the photos of lovely, strange and cute/funny birds.

This is a great calendar and is large enough to see the dates from across the room. I've been getting one each year for over 5 years.

My boss was absolutely delighted with this gift. She raises chickens.

Don't question this one... If you want this calendar you'll love this calendar.

I love it. I was so excited when I got it. The photos are fantastic. Talk about super fast delivery.

I didn't realize chickens can be so fancy.

bock bock bock. Bock. Bock bock. Bock.

Love this little book. Beautiful photos and lots of them. Love looking at them.

Full of incredible chicken portraits! If you think this is not an exciting topic, think again -- then order this or other Stephen Green-Armytage products and see for yourself! I am weather-proofing and hanging last year's calendar cover on my chicken run. I have both his chicken books and calendars, and leaf through them occasionally just for the pure joy of it.

Christmas present for a chicken enthusiast. She loved it.

Bought for my girlfriend and she loves it! Its a nice large calendar with bright, bold images! Very good quality!!

I bought this for a gift and wish I had bought it for myself too. My sister-in-law said she and my brother laughed and loved the wacky photographs. They are hard to buy. For so this was a hit!it must be extraordinary!

Beautiful pictures of unusual chickens ! Large size.

I bought this book as a gift but as usual, I looked at it first. The pictures of the amazing chickens are beautiful. I never knew there were so many different kinds of chickens. I am definitely going to buy the author's next book, Amazing Chickens 2

I gave it to a friend of mine who loves chickens. She has a couple barn yard babies of her own. She loves the calendar and is fascinated at the designer chickens in it.

I purchased this book for my daughter who is really interested in chickens and is going to raise them. I bought her several books on chickens but this one was special because it showed a variety of chickens and the beauty and personality they have.

This was a gift. It’s a fairly large calendar and the pictures are quality.

Gave as a gift

Hilarious. Whoever thought of this for a calendar was as extraordinary as these chickens.

This is the best gift I have ever bought anyone. I just wish it hadn't have had a sticker on the cover.

My daughter moved to the country and is trying to raise chickens

It's chickens and that calendar dates are correct so I have no complaints.

I've got a chicken obsession and have got my fiance hooked as well. I bought this for his work space and he's enjoying it.

I have purchased this every year for 5 years, it is incredible, my co workers are jelly.

I've been using the Extraordinary Chickens calendars for several years, and they are my all-time favorite! They are large, with plenty of space for appointments. But what makes them special, and a real talking piece, are the wonderful pictures of chickens--perfect for a kitchen! They are full of whimsy and color and great expressions.

Good gag gift, beautiful pics

My daughter raises Silkies and other breeds. She always enjoys the calendars I get here. It's now a Christmas tradition. She loved it.

I love these pictures. The 2017 calendar was purchased as a joke and backfired because I loved it and proceeded to buy one for 2018 when the time came. They add subtle whimsy to the room.

My wife is a chicken picture nut! We have several pictures of chickens decorating the home and this calendar adorns our kitchen. Love it!

Fantastic chickens. Got this for my mother as a living room calendar and she regularly mentions how much she loves the images.

I get this calendar every year. I love the different "extraordinary" looking chickens. There's the large picture with a description and a small one down on the left corner of the calendar itself and it also has a small description.

My 15 year old niece likes chickens, so I sent this book to her, it has become a coffee table book at their house and all who visit check it out and are amazed at how many different breeds of chickens there are. Her Mom told me it's educational as well as a topic of conversation, everyone loves it!

This calendar was perfect for my chicken loving family member. The pictures are done well.

Great calendar!

Crazy good pics of chickens

Such a cute calendar!! Had to buy again for this year :)

Who doesn’t want a little more cock in their life?

Sister loves the pictures of the chicken.

I get my dad one every year and he loves it. Its a quality calendar with fun bright pictures. I get a laugh out of it and so does he. Obviously he keeps chickens so I think he enjoys seeing all the different types.

Love this! Only thing is that the squares for the days could be bigger

chickens are cool but there is no background. they could have done a much better job

A+ purchase, made a great gift for a chicken lover!

My nephews love chickens and I sent this to them for Christmas. They just love it. I found out afterward that they use to get this book out of the library and they're so happy to have a copy for real. If you've got youngsters who love animals, especially chickens, then this is a must buy.

A nice calendar - the pictures are clear. I like it because it's not "too girly."

I buy one of these every year and am never disappointed...BEST CALENDAR EVER if you love chickens! Unique chickens photographed beautifully.

These are truly some FEROCIOUSLY beautiful chickens. I don't deserve them they are so magnificent. But I will continue to enjoy them every day this year

Bought this for my mom who loves chickens. She loved it. Nice, high quality pictures.

Too many average looking chickens.

Bought for a gift - just like the picture.

We cannot wait until we get to open and use the calendar. Superstition forbids we hand it before Jan. 1, but we love the pics and blocks are large enough to put notes on.

Gift for my wife this past Christmas. Nice calendar

The photos are well done!

I bought this as a gift to a friend and it was incredible! My friend loved it. The pictures are beautiful and the selection of chickens pictured in the book are fascinating! The picture on the cover gives you insight as to what to expect inside the book!

I bought this calendar as a gift for a friend that has chickens. She never had seen any like these. Her whole family enjoys the calendar every day! As a "bird person" myself, I love the exotic chickens, too.

My crazy chicken friend love this calendar

I just like chickens. Looking at great photography year round is exactly what I need. I like that they listed what breeds they are showing (not all calendars do that)

A fascinating look at the variety of chickens there are around the world. This makes a great book for anyone interested in different breeds of chickens. My only disappointment was that it is rather small and I would have liked to see it in a slightly larger format.

its a funny joke with my mom im so glad i found these :D

I think this calendar is great. Somehow I wound up ordering 2, not sure how that happened, but I don't mind. I gave the other calendar to my attorney. It has very cool pictures and the calendar squares are big enough to write b-days and a few tasks into.

I have this calendar in my cubicle; I was trying to find a calendar that was office-friendly but I would still enjoy looking at and this is perfect. It's just perfectly weird and everyone who stops by loves it.

Nice variety ofchickens

A WHOLE YEAR OF AVIAN BEAUTY.

Amazing variety of chickens.. I bought it because it was recommended as a "bathroom reading" book.

Good chicken photos

This is a gift for someone who raises special chickens. She will love it!

The pictures are beautiful. However, they are all of European chickens! I had hoped they would be of American beauties! It was supposed to be a gift for a farmer friend in Wisconsin...we kept it and are using it for a regular calendar.

Such a cute calendar!

surprisingly this is one of my baby's favorite books- he really loves the chicken photos, which are lovely and very striking. He has enjoyed this book since he was born- the high contrast is great.

This calender is what your life has been missing.

I call this my "Monkey Ward" chicken catalog. Like the old catalogs, I look through it and: "I want one of those, and a pair of these. Wouldn't she look elegant in the back yard? Fun read.

I always look forward to the yearly calendar. I keep it in my office and people always comment on it. Great photographs and great quality.

Excellent quality, stunning photos, makes a great coffee table book and topic of conversation! I never get tired of turning the pages, you can't help but laugh at the funny photos. The photography is awesome. Be sure to get the matching wall calendar, it's just as entertaining!

This was a gift for my brother who raises chickens. He really enjoyed having this calendar.

Great photos for any chicken lover.

Great calander i am now on our 3rd year. the 2015 offerings are not a good as 2014 but ther are still some really great photos of some amazing chickens.

Great photography

extraordinary!

Sooooo cute!!! And great quality paper so it doesn’t rip!!

I gave the calendars 5 stars because it has all the days of the year and they are carefully organized into by month. However, calling the chickens "extraordinary" is a bit too much. Maybe terrific, or resplendent would be more accurate. Perhaps prodigious or sensational, but "extraordinary" is just too much...

They're chickens and they sure are extraordinary. Good gag gift

I love this calendar!!!!!!! The chickens are amazing!

Very cute pictures of unusual chickens

Terrific

Simply Super Love it

Funny

Perfect to add a smile to your day. Coworkers always want to see what the next month’s chicken is.

These chickens are gorgeous. The pictures are regal. The quality is excellent.

very happy with product and seller!

Cute and funny

Gave as a gift and the recipient LOVED it!!!

Obsessed. Literally the best purchase I've made in 2017.

Always love the chicken calendars, hanging right in my kitchen and everyone always comments on it.

fun and informative

If you like chickens, then you'll like the exquisite photographs of unusual birds. The patience and skill of the photographer is evident in the images contained in this book.

Gift for my chicken-loving friend

My wife really liked the calendar.

Love this calendar! I get it every year for my mom and she loves it!

Funny

As expected

This was a gift for my grand nephew and he was thrilled with it. He is a funny little guy with really different interests but it made him happy so it made me happy.

Awesome calendar.

Love this little reference book. Fantastic images and interesting facts. I am an artist, and I am already using it as a reference.

Bought this for a friend at Christmas. It is such a unique concept and kind've became a tradition for us. Love it!

I get these calendars for my friend every year. She's obsessed with chickens. I didn't even know there were this many chickens until I saw the pictures in these calendars. My friend enjoys these.

Good Book for the future chicken farmer.

Every year the chickens get more beautiful. Love this calendar!

I've been buying this series of calendars for years. Never disappointed.

Great!?! Cool calendar!??!

One word. Glorious

more informational then a photo book, which is what I was looking for... smaller then expect, not a HUGE selection, but it's okay.

Loved this book. Chickens like I have never seen. A great coffee table book - good for many chuckles. Company has loved looking at it.

I get this calendar for my fiancée every year because she loves fluffy chickens. It has never let me down as a Hanukkah gift.

Bought as a gift. Rave reviews from the recipient!

If you raise chickens and are interested in the more exotic breeds and what they will look like when full-grown, then this would be a good addition to your poultry library. The full-color pictures are beautiful and offer an up close view into the world of unusual and beautiful show chickens. If you are looking for an educational book on raising and/or showing birds, this probably wouldn't be your best choice, but for entertainment value alone, I give it a thumbs up.

The book teaches, it enlightens and it delights. The photographs are truly extraordinary and not just for the aficionado of rare poultry. The entire book is simply a feast for the eye and with very useful text. A perfect gift for the chicken lover in your life.

This book is simply awesome - I've purchased it for myself, family and friends. Who knew that there were so many exotic varieties of chickens out there? The pictures are fabulous.

This is a really fun calendar!

Nice illustrations.

If you are like me, I thought a chicken was a chicken. Now an urban chicken keeper, I was amazed by the variety of chickens in this calender. If you have kids that are interested in chickens, this calendar is a fun gift. The wall poster is a nice bonus.
