[Chickens.]

What is a pussywillow? It's one of the items we got for free. I'm just wondering... what is it XD and does it have any significance in CNY?

Ahaha, it has such an inappropriate sounding name in english xD

It's like a bunch of small fluffy flowers on a branch. They're so super soft.

Most likely, they are horses. Seen from this litter here, it's the same image. Although, we could be getting trolled and be getting Nick Chickens, or Nick-ens, as some people are starting to call them.

I'd wait for them to grow before trading them, since we're not sure what they are yet!

What do Nick-ens look like?

No idea. They've never been done before. This is why I said you should wait, since we're not sure what they are. This is just speculation.

Wikipedia says

The many buds of the pussy willow make it a favourite flower for Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year). The fluffy white blossoms of the pussy willow resemble silk, and they soon give forth young shoots the color of green jade. In Chinese tradition, this represents the coming of prosperity. Towards the Lunar New Year period in spring, stalks of the plant may be bought from wet market vendors or supermarkets.

Once unbundled within one's residence, the stalks are frequently decorated with gold and red ornaments - ornaments with colours and text that signify prosperity and happiness. Felt pieces of red, pink and yellow are also a common decoration in Southeast Asia.
