~Collection de Poulet~

I have always loved chickens, hens, roosters, chicks ... and baby ducks. When I was around seven years old, living on a hilltop in West Virginia, we had a chicken coop and I loved gathering the eggs from the warm nests.
I've collected all sorts of chickens since I was married forty-three ago. In recent years, I have pared down my collection quite a bit and kept only those I love.






My Jadeite Hen on her nest.


My three egg dishes displayed on my chicken/rooster rug.


A very special one - a large hen and nest that my mother bought for me. This is our goodie hen where we hide the candy!


I love this one too - my Fitz and Floyd covered veggie dish. See the baby chick on her back?


My colorful pretty little hen and one of my favorite childhood stories - The Little Red Hen.

This amber color one I've had for a long time.

Another one from my mother - a tiny little gold hen - even has a tiny spoon with it.

This French Blue hen was a gift from my brother, so it's very special to me.
