My son and daughter-in-law have a few chickens and their son really likes them, so I thought this might be a fun Christmas gift for them. They are Red Oak and I used a felt tip marker to color the wood. Seems like people that don't even have chickens like these. I think it will be a hit.

I've enjoyed all kinds of reviews from you not to mention I laugh almost every time I read anything you have written. I would be honored to give back. Ask away and I hope I can help.
