there's a chicken in the garden

unfortunately, just not a real one! 

Instead a most comely iron "girl." 

Isn't she cute? 

I wish there'd been two but I think I was lucky to find one (since the store owner where I bought it said she was so over chickens, there would be no more!)  Bummer.

Oh well, I think she looks good guarding the topiary and she'll do until I can someday try the live version!

p.s.  I think she needs a name, don't you??  Any suggestions?

Very cute! How about Henny Penny? :)

Dear Kathleen, you made me look! I was so sure you had a new pet and I knew the coop would be beautiful! She's wonderful. I am bad at naming critters, but, know she will have a good one soon. gailxo

Now that's the kind of chicken that I could get away with here:-) She's cute. I like Catherine's suggestion for a name!!

The name that came immediately to my mind was Penelope. Then when I scrolled down to the comments, I see that Catherine suggested Henny Penny. Name her Penelope and use Henny Penny as a nick-name!
I have a tin rooster in my garden, maybe I should look for a mate for him!

I use to read my children a book about a confused chicken named Minerva Louise. No matter what you name her, she's a keeper!

Hi Kathleen, You and I seem to like the same sorts of things. I love chickens, both real and decorative. I am not so good with names, but I see that you have a few nice suggestions already.

Makes a nice addition to your garden, Kathleen.

Cute, Kathleen! :-)

Thanks everyone for the name suggestions! I like 'Henny Penny' a lot so she just might be called that.
