A triptych is a traditional three panel format, used for art work since ancient times. The middle panel is tipically the largest, flanked by two equal sized side panels. This triptych, with a farm scene, is framed in gothic arches. In the center a rooster crows in the farmyard, while flowers fill the two side panels.

This sculpture is hand cast in durable outdoor resin with a sandstone finish, from an original sculpture that I carved in Indiana limestone. It measures 18" tall x 24" wide x 2" deep, and weighs 8 lbs. It's suitable for hanging on a wall, a coop, or in a garden.
$150.00. S&H is $18.00 in the U.S.; other locations please inquire.

Thank you!

Well now I do wish I could afford it. I think it would look nice placed into the tile work of a fire place mantle. My DD and hers need theirs redone and they last name is Walters.

I clicked on your pics seeing you had Columbian Wy's. I don't think I've seen them before. Do you have pics?

Are these standard or bantam. I believe I've seen bantam at a show in Alabama.

All standard. Note Mossy, on the left, has mossy feathering, not the standard Columbian Wyandotte feathering, and two of the girls have single combs rather than the standard rose combs. Our roo is displaying some of the Wyandotte "U" shaped posture, with neck and tail curving up.

I understand comb problems are to be expected. My Rocks have the mossy problem too, but they're a good size. Not the best layers by far though. How are your girls at laying? Where did you get them?
Wy's are good here in the NE. Cold wise I mean.

4 girls, 310 eggs over the past 4 months, or a bit more than 2.5 eggs per day. Two of them are a bit over 2 years old, the other two are close to 3-1/2 years old. One of the hens, last summer when she was one year old, would lay 29 or 30 days non stop, then take off one day and start again for another months.

We got them from a local farm park museum (it's part of the local park district, and is a working 1930's farm that is an educational place so kids see what life was like 80 years ago). Primrose Farm Park
They work with hatching programs at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago and with local schools, providing the eggs and then taking back the chicks. As a result, our chickens were either hatched in a museum or a school, and are therefore obviously highly intelligent.

Well now that's not to bad, imho. Did you buy them as chicks or hatching eggs? Do you know anyone else that has them?

The Garfield museum in Chicago is noted for it's Javas and I did contact them years ago about getting chicks but just never got to it. There are just to many breeds to choose from.

I had a couple of SLW's but no roo. Beautiful birds but not the greatest layers.
