We literally jumped out of our seats when we read The Oldsmobile That Turned Into A Chicken in The Wall Street Journal.
The Oldsmobile That Turned Into A Chicken
Chicken Tattoo
We decided to get a chicken tattoo when we came across this design from the Embroidery Library. Tons of inspiration for tattoos.

The Art of Endre Penovác
The Art of Endre Penovác is absolutely exquisite and his watercolor paintings are sublime. His brush strokes are so mesmerizing.
Howard Rooster by Lynn Elam Bonge
Howard looks mad, but he really isn’t – he’s just intimidated by all the women he’s surrounded by. He’s part of the farm animal group created by Lynn Elam Bonge. Per Bonge, “he is so funny to look at and he will be sure to be a hit wherever you decide to hang him. He’s rather sweet on Edna Mae but he’ll never admit it. He likes to rule by intimidation, but he can be a softie when Edna Mae is around. (She knows who really rules the roost!) He will look great wherever you decide to hang him and he makes a great companion with the other poultry characters – like Edna Mae, Dave, Maybelline, Abner, Harold and Betty Lou.”
Please take the time to discover the artwork of Lynn Elam Bonge and her menagerie of friends. You will be happy you did!

Breed Retreat by Frederik Roijé
We are so into the Breed Retreat by Frederik Roijé, an architectural designed hen house. The Breed Retreat is composed of stacked and fused segments. The height refers to the pecking order that is naturally present by chickens.
The higher the nest the more secure. To place in the pecking order to breeding segments are divided. The interior is in addition to all the comfort provided with interior lighting, powered by solar panels on the roof. In the winter chickens lay no eggs. The interior lighting simulates the days are longer so do the chickens lay an egg even in winter.
Per Roijé, “My ultimate wish is that public parks such as the Vondelpark in Amsterdam or Central Park in New York have a Breed Retreat for their own city chickens.”
