Why Do You Need A Stress Chicken?
Sinclair (under the banner of Very Good Crochet) was visited by CTV News recently, and shared in her own words what these stress chickens should be used for.
“They are just there to give you something to hold onto while you are trying to make it through overtime without having a heartattack,” Sinclair revealed. A lot of Oilers fans are right there with you, Sinclair.
She then explained what she does with her own stress chicken while watching a Cup Final game.
“I tend to toss mine back and forth a lot,” Sinclair said. “Just a little extra emotional support for what’s been a crazy rollercoaster for fans.”
Where Do I Get A Stress Chicken?
Sinclair is taking orders for Emotion Support Chickens through her Instagram page. In her profile, there is a Google Form that customers must fill out.
Chickens are $20 each, and are available for pick-up or can be shipped locally as well as across Canada.
Once you have ordered, an invoice will be sent to you. You can pay via Square or E-transfer. At the time of this writing, all chickens that are ordered will now be ready after June 20th.
Since the end of April, Sinclair has sent more than 1400 stress chickens to Oilers fans all over Canada. In order to keep up with the demand, she had to hire seven people to help her crochet the chickens.
