I just love those pictures!I just recently inherited my MIL's chicken collection.Its mostly newer roosters.But there are 4 of the hen-on-nest dishes,one is a rooster.I'm sure 2 belonged to her mother.I'll get some pics up when we get around to setting them up.Kinda waiting for a better time.Anyhoo,my favorite chicken pieces are 2 I found in a dump behind a barn.Just a pile of garbage mostly.I had to clean it up so the horses couldn't step in it.I was just a fussing while I shoveled up glass and stuff,why would anybody just throw garbage in a ditch?

And then I spotted this little tiny rooster.I picked it out and wow I was tickled.

And then I thought I wonder if he had a mate?About a foot away there she was.

: ya The rooster is about 1 and 3/4 inch tall.The hen alittle less than that.I call them my "God given" chickens.They just happen the be where I would find them and I love them so much!

I even like the painted egg in that ad........fantastic! Everytime I find a chicken anything that I like, my daughter just shakes her head. I have a few pieces for my kitchen: tea towel, hot pad, a metal rooster swag, salt and pepper shakers, a little hen. Now I see some of this other stuff, and I think to myself: "I'm gonna need a bigger house".

I just got the most adorable teapot today at Macys!

It's a chicken, with a chick for the lid.

were they in stock where you live? I got the book on valuing hen on nests, its very good. Wish I had it before I bought an overpriced knockoff on Ebay...but its pretty anyway!
