the little glass one is cute too. i think all old ladies have a chicken or 2 somewhere.
those feathered ones aren't actually stuffed, are they? don't imagine the dust has helped the feathers much. kinda cute, tho.

i collected chickens, especially hens on a basket for a lot time, never imagining i would have actual chickens. i always liked the hens better. now i have a dozen real chickens, 2 of which are roosters. they are so much more spectacular than any of the chatchke versions. i know there are plain ones out there, but mine are of the gorgeous sort for regular food chickens.

anyway, i like the green ones. cute that they are both posing appropriately for their gender. usually they are just clones of each other.

look around some more, think about what you want, and drop me a pm.
