| Ladies and gentlemen, the chicken has landed. It's that time of year again... eggs, fluffy yellow chicks, gallinaceous ornaments galore. A local shop started selling these fairly nice but badly painted figurines, so obviously I had to pick up a few to repaint! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I found a book on poultry breeds of the world (a must in any well-stocked library  ), and apparently that's all it takes to get me hooked. It doesn't hurt that this is one animal that is quite easy to find in model form... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The brown Schleich hen I already had, but she didn't really come into her own until I got her Bullyland friend. There's something in their attitude.. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Tinies! The made in China cheapo is way nicer than the Bullyland micros, really detailed. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This guy is just weird. Anyway... *drumroll* Let the thread commence? Or are you... chicken? |

| I enjoy watching chicken collection, they are very cute :) Some of these models I see first time. The rooster looks really funny I don't have any hen in my collection. My son has 2 or 3 though so I may take photos of them :) He had really beautiful CollectA rooster but unfortunately lost it somewhere... I think any birds which I could count as poultry are my mallard ducks and goose by schleich but I use to think they were wild  |

The same here even I'm enjoying seeing yours. I don't have a single chicken. Many foxes here!  I'm more used with scientific classifications, like Galliformes (Chickens, turkeys, grouses, pheasants, peafowls, etc) or Anseriformes (ducks, geese, swans). They are very distinct groups, I guess! :) |

| They are WONDERFUL , Sue and Lesley I can`t believe that there are so many of the old metal ones from Britain, - the chickens are absolutely delightful ! And the one nesting ! And it seems that by them they could make defferent breeds Thankyou for sharing from your enormous treasure of models again Yesss!!!! Then my memory isn`t quite gone...I was sure that at some time I learned that "Poultry" was just as you describe : The feathered ones that the farmer`s wife went out to feed in the morning...ducks and geese and turkeys included |

- Why don`t you like the word poultry ?
The word poultry includes the assumption that the birds are meant to be used by humans, and I don't believe they are. I call them chickens, ducks and geese, because I think their life is valuable regardless of the money, meat or eggs one could benefit from them. And yes, maybe the brown one was just laying an egg when the others gathered for the photo. I've never seen eggs around here, though. But one of my Schleich dogs seems to have gained weight recently..  And I've also seen a marten running around here.. _________________ my website: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (last updated 13th of September 2013) |
