The chickens had a week filled with surprises!  Chicken-theme gifts from their fans.....some from Georgia and as far as Russia.

The "Westies" Stitchers (my old and dear stitching group) from Georgia came up for a visit  and brought along some treasures old and new:

An antique wooden painted egg crate circa 1920's along with an Acme Egg-Grading Scale (1924) and a glass "brooder egg"  

A new egg-theme tote with a matching modular knit scarf  and Barite Geode, this is actually older than dirt.

A surprised mailed from Marietta, Georgia - A glass little red hen from Lynn & Bob (mainly Lynn).

All the way from St Petersburg, Russia, "pickin chickens"...you spin the wooden ball on the bottom , which makes the chickens peck at the grains!  While in Russia on vacation, Butch and Sylvia found this.  The chickens are quite continental now.
