A Chicken Party!

Some of the chickens in my home include ~

A gift from the Gentleman Farmer many years ago.
An adorable clay chicken made by Farmer's Daughter #2 when she was a wee miss!
It sits on a vintage hand embroidered 'Chicken' tablecloth.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling."

Matthew 23:37
