This particular chicken was sitting, roosting like, and the other chicken was sitting next to it. They moved it often so the sick chicken would follow it.

Might be safer than a live chicken of unknown temperament!

I can sew. And I have unused fabric lying around. I could probably whip up a super simple stuffed chicken pretty quick. Great idea! Thanks. At this point, I'll try anything.

This is a Black Copper Marans / Allpenhaller Spitzhauben - a tiny little crest =) Looking like a boy if anyone wants to add some variety =)

Sleepy time

I think I heard snoring

This Brabanters has the largest crest - so cute!

This Allpenhaller Spitzhauben / Brabanters cross looks to be a boy. Let me know if you want to add this bundle of cuteness to your flock!

I could go on and on, but I'll be nice and stop there as I need to weed the garden! Badly! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend dawn

They are all VERY cute! I love the sleepy chickie pic!

I have an old chaise outside ... maybe it's time to dig out the cushion for it. (I'm creeped out by the spiders that probably took residence on it during the winter).

Q. Why did the chicken cross the road.
A. To show the opossum and armadillo it could be done.

That first crest looks really good, not too small at all.

I have some stuffed chickens. My sister bought them at an auction for me as a joke. I would send them along for a good cause.
