For most people, chickens are a part of their morning routine. Sure, not everyone has to check the nests for eggs every morning. But we sure do enjoy those eggs, whether they’re fried, in an omelette, or an ingredient in pancakes!
Farmyard animals like chickens so closely connect to daily life that they’ve made their way into kitchen decor. There’s a lot of ways we can use them to create a rustic feel. Or we can go with something a bit blunt and a few plays on words to get us up with the roosters.
We’ve come across a lot of great dish towels, in particular, that can add something special to the kitchen. They run the gamut in terms of style. But they’re guaranteed to add color and attractiveness to your decorations, whether you live in the city or on the farm!
T-fal Textiles Rooster Print Dish Towel
If you want a bright, colorful towel to dry your dishes with or simply for decoration, you’ll fall in love with this one!
This rooster loudly crows as he watches over an egg. He looks like a proud papa waiting for his new little chick.
The colors are incredible here, and each section uses a different motif.
This is actually a two-pack of towels (the vendor sells them singly also, but at least at our press time, the singles were out of stock). Each towel measures 16 by 26 inches. They’re made of woven cotton, so they’ll be absorbent and dry quickly, as well.
They seem to hold up decently, but we’ve heard they sometimes fray a bit after a few washes. So we think they’re good enough for use in washing and drying but even better if you want to use them purely for decorative purposes!
DII Cotton Embroidered Chicken Dish Towels
This set of three towels in three different designs offers a great farmhouse kitchen look. Two towels have plaid designs as the base. The third has a plaid edge. All three feature roosters and the design hearkens back to a time when more families lived on farms and were getting their own eggs from their poultry.
They’re made of 100% cotton and offer fantastic absorbency. They dry well, too. They’re great for decoration but they do a great job drying dishes, too, without taking much damage.
The towels measures 18 by 28 inches.
Primitives by Kathy Black and White “Rise and Shine” Dish Towel
It’s not classic or colorful. But when you want to get a point across – to yourself or to the rest of the family. “Rise and Shine, Mother Cluckers” may raise some eyebrows, but it’s sure a message that we sometimes need in the morning!
The design by Dan DiPaolo is simple yet powerful – it’s black and white with a “distressed” look. And that’s exactly how we feel when the alarm goes off each morning – distressed!
These cotton towels are great for pots and pans – they measure 28 by 28 inches. They’re fantastic for daily use or for hanging to attract attention. Or for soaking in icy water and tossing on a snoring spouse or child’s face!
Fiddler’s Elbow Hens Flour Sack Dish Towel
Here’s a great game for you: identify all the species of chicken and their respective eggs that are on these awesome towels! They could be a great teaching tool for adults and children alike. Learn about farm animals while doing the dishes.
We have to confess that we know very little about any kind of chicken, but that only adds to how great these dish towels are.
These are one towel per order, but they can get a lot done. They measure 22 by 32 inches – that’s huge! They’re also 100% cotton.
And we just realized that this is the only selection in our list that features hens instead of roosters!
TheLinenBazaar Roosters Flour Sack Kitchen Towels
This set of dish towels have a more reserved design that others here but still make a fantastic impression. The white towels feature red roosters marching across the edge, with a geometric border beneath. It leaves most of the towel without decoration. But that only draws more attention to the design.
The towels measure 18 by 27 inches. They’re 100% cotton. This is our biggest set – 4 towels are included! They dry quickly, but with so many towels you can count on always having one ready to go. Or you can always have a fresh pair while the other two are in the wash.
