wondering why there are never any chickens in a manger scene

Quote:
You know, I think I saw that once, a long time ago. Because as I looked at Nativity scenes I kept thinking, "But there used to be chickens!"

maybe the same set?
 
I painted a nativity scene once and it had chickens in it. The three wise men were two horses and a Hereford cow; the shepherds were actually German Shepherds and a Border Collie; Mary, Joseph and Jesus were represented by a ram, ewe and newborn lamb and the angels were pigs with wings, flying above it all!

The manger had a cow, donkey, a few chickens and a tabby cat looking on. I painted it on an old piece of barn board.

My sister LOVES that painting and will not part with it!
