Please take a look around. :) A contented fat hen to keep your boiled egg cosy! Made from wool from our own sheep, the wool is spun then knitted to make this chicken shape, complete with red comb and wattle and a green and blue tail. She is then felted, for a nice finish and extra cosiness. If you would like a hen with a different coloured tail, just let me know.
