I'm certainly not counting my chickens - purely because I have quite a lot of them. I was moaning remarking that I needed somewhere to put them which would show them off properly. This little chicken house was hubby's solution - he made it from a few bits and pieces of wood. Isn't it cute?
"The girls" love it!
Does anyone remember an Australian series from the 80s which I think was called A Country Practice? It used to be on in the afternoon. I remember watching this when I was pregnant with Son#1 and there was a woman on this who called her (real) chickens - "the girls"!
The new chick is settling in well - hope she isn't being led astray by those other two!
Kylie - hope you don't mind your little dish being used in this way, but they love it, and so do I!
Not everyone's happy - even with some lovely clean straw!
Well, at least some of my chickens have a proper place to live now - thanks to hubby!
Love, Liz
I was delighted when BettyJean over at Shabby Tea Party asked if she could feature my tea cosies on her blog. Why not pop over and pay her a visit.

A country practice was a favourite in most houses in the 80's. My Mum still cries when thinking of the scene when Molly died. Your Hubby did a brilliant job on the "chook house." The girls look great.
That's so sweet, and what a thoughtful gift. I love the shocked look on the face of the one on the right hand side of the cage - they really do look like they're having a conversation!

I used to love country practice too and watched it when I was at home with my sons as babies.
I would love to have a couple of real chickens in my back garden but sadly dont have room.I think they are so cute.I have got a ceramic chicken somewhere, it is probably still in one of the boxes waiting to be unpacked when we moved 2 years ago.X
The girls look so comfy each nested in her own space. Your hubby did a great job making their coop. Love the curvy detailing on the top and the chicken wire on the doors. Warm Hugs,
Oh your hubby is so clever, what a lovely coop for your girls.
How lucky are your chickens having such a wonderful display cabinet to reside in......
Well done to hubby, he's one handy fella...
Nice little collection too Liz,
