started collecting chickens (glass,metal,wood,whatever caught my eye) & putting them on my kitchen window sill back in 1997...Decided I would like to have the real thing & took the plunge! Have coop, chickenyard & two live chickens! I LOVE them! I have a red sex link named Esme & a barred rock named Fiona. Hoping to get a gold laced wyandotte soon. Now when I wash dishes I get to look out the window & watch my girls free range!
