This is mostly true around here...we mothers just have to go one mothering!
Shelia is so good at gathering blog sisters for a party...Hope you will come join in too!
I love chickens so much that I even have dishes with chickens on them!
My daughter Lindsey painted this for me about
4 years ago when she was in high school. I have
always loved it and I have always loved chickens.
I was raised on a farm and we always had chickens,
as I have made my own life, I have had chickens and
I hope to always have them. I just love the comfort and
joy they bring to my life. They are amazing little gifts
from God!

I have so many scattered around my home that I could give everyonein blog land a chicken and still have some left! I hope you like my chickens!
I like them in many colors...
I like big fat ones made of tin...
Pretty blue & white porcelain ones...
And this family of chickens that sit on top of my cabinets...
And you know with this many chickens, we get lots of eggs...
This tall red guy sits way up high watching over all...
This chicken plaque sits over a big kitchen window...
This chicken bucket sits way up high to...
This one guards the beans... and you thoughtthe guardian of Bush beans was a dog!
This one is old and he sits in my laundry room...I think he likes the hummm of the dryer!
These two tiny ones sit on top of my spice rack...
My daughter who painted my rooster picture above...
I just love this pair of love birds...
This guy sits on top of my big island, he is in charge of the baking...
This is one, of a set of 6 farm plates from Williams Sonoma...
A set of crocks that I love...One holds cookies, it's my favorite!
More chickens in the corner...
This is a really big, fat one...it sits on my kitchen table in a basket...
My kitchen chair pads, love them!
I think, because I love being a mother, I love this little mother hen...
This one sits way up high on top of a book shelf ...
These two greet everyone at the front door...
This one stands guard in the front foyer window...
This plaque sits right inside my front door, but you can stay for free!
Love this big beautiful hen too...
My favorite picture ever, you see, I think that is me!
I told you this one is in charge of the baking...
Now come meet my yard birds...this is a new mama. I am notsure she wants you looking at her new babies though...
See, she has hidden every one of them! Come on dear,it's Shelia's chicken party, won't you share?
"Oh, alright, but just two of them!"... "Hello ladies, hope you will like us too!"
"Come on little dears, time to go home now...thanks for stopping by ladies!"And thanks to sweet Shelia for the gathering of the hens,
she always makes it a fun party!
~MY LOVE TO ALL~

I have some major rooster/chicken envy right now Julie!
Let's see now, I love your dinner plates, the red guy, well actually I love them all!

Hugs friend,

Hi Julie! Oh, my, what a marvelous collection of Roos and Chicks and you even have live ones! My heart just pitty pat seeing them all.
Thank you so much for partying with me!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh Julie, I so wish I could have joined in with this party but can you believe that I have no roosters or chooks in my home! I'm going to have to do something about it so that I can join in next time!
You have quite a collection Julie and how amazing that you have the real things too!
Best wishes and have a happy week!
Natasha.
Wow, what a collection you have!!!! I love the big red one on the counter and the red one who supervises the baking. I have a red one and that is about it.
Julie you are not kidding that you have a large collection. I love them all, what great variety! The yard bird and babies are extra special. Thanks for sharing all these with us.
hugs,
Linda
Julie, what a lovely post, I cannot decide which rooster or hen is my favorite, I love them all. I can't even decide which photo I love the best, I think Mama Hen hiding her baby chicks is precious. I especially love the painting your daughter did, she is very talented. xo,
I had such a delightful time seeing all your beautiful collection of chicks and roos.
So much fun...
xo bj
I love them all! My favorite is the Williams Sonoma plate/set. Thanks for sharing all your pretties with us.
What a great collection you have. I love the live mama and her littles.
Thank you for all your sweet comments.
Thanks for sharing all your roos.
Love all of your beautiful yard birds! The chair pads are very pretty and my favorite has to be the guardian of the beans-enjoy:@)
Wow what an amazing collection! I love the guard bird!! Too cute. Visiting from NoteSongs.

Julie, what a wonderful collection of chickens you have there. And the one your daughter painted is extra special. I actually have the twin hen to the colorful pair you have. Love all of yours.
I dropped by from Shelia's party to wish you a Happy Cockadoodleydoo Day!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Julie I absolutely love all your roosters and hen. But I especially love the live ones with the cute little chicks!
I have looked for your house, but I don't think we pass it. We go I15 down past Beaver then we turn off on 20 and then head to Panguitch and Kanab. What highway are you on?

Beautiful chickens, Julie...in the house AND the yard!
Our three mature hens have really slacked off of laying eggs in this horrible heat wave we're experiencing but the four little pullets we bought this spring are just staring to lay. First eggs are so tiny and perfect. I have a partial dozen in my fridge right now ...five 'normal' size from the mature hens and four itty bitty eggs from the new pullets. Both odd looking and adorable, at the same time.
I give them all bonus points for laying at all in this weather. I should take a picture and do a post on my odd dozen.
You have beautiful chickens! Your diverse collection is great.
Blessings...Betty @ Country Charm
I don't think I've ever seen so many chickens! I love them all... From now on I won't think of you as Julie. You will from now on be the chicken lady. What do you think?
Blessings, Debbie
Oh Julie...you have the best chickens. I love the one by the beans the best.
I am so sorry about your sister. Please tell her that I care and that many people care. Cancer is horrible, I hate it, I hate having it...and I hate that more people get it. I pray that there is some help for her. You know, I technically shouldn't be here, but the Lord has blessed me.
But as my 83 year old aunt tells mee, we always want ONE MORE DAY!
what a wonderful collection you have. This reminded me of my grandmother. She collected roosters and had a cabinet filled with all kinds of them
Oh, my! What a wonderful collection you have! I love them all! :)
Yes, I would say that you like chickens. I love the one perched on the shelf leaning over the edge.
I wish I were home now so I could take some pictures of the few chickens I have to share at the chicken party. (I am currently on a camping trip.)Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection.
Wow Julie ~ that is one awesome collection! They all are great but I am partial to the red one.
Love it.
Have a happy week.
Great collection! Love your real mama chicken and her babies!
Wow, what a fabulous collection. The one your daughter made is so special, the one guarding the beans is so funny, the vintage one in the laundry room is adorable (as is the bread box behind it) and the real ones are so sweet. Love how mom was hiding the babies.
nice collection, Julie. Love all your Roosters!
wow thats a whole lot of lovin chickens,, beautiful collection,, amazing,, my favorite is the one guarding the bush beans,,
Great roosters and chicks. The one by the beans looks like he is going to pounce any second.
Oh, what a delightful post! Chickens are the perfect theme for a kitchen, aren't they? You have some beautiful ones!
What a lovely collection! So adorable! I use to collect cows and had quite a collection. Just think they are so cute! LOL Have a great week!
Blessings,
Jill
Oh Julie, I think you are the winner of the most chickens. How adorable each one is. I love how you have them displayed. So cute. Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs Karie
What a fun post. You even have the real deal!
Thanks for sharing. I'm happy to find your blog.
Wow I think the chickens have taken over your nest!! LOL
Lots of really cute ones and I say when you have something you love - Go for it! I especially love your chicken chair pads.
What a marvelous collection you have...good to see some real ones. Trish
I love this post because I love my rooster and chicks, too. Oh I don't have any real ones now, but I was raised on a farm so I know all about gathering eggs from beneath a hen who might peck your hand! I always loved listening to the hens, they sound so happy. Your collection is fabulous and I think your daughter is a terrific painter!
That quite a collection. I'm partial to those chair pads though!
Oh, Julie~ each picture made me *squeeeal* with delight!
I especially love the hen with the chicks on her back! TOO CUTE!
Your house looks so cute. Love the fresh baked bread and the one that guards the beans.
This post just sweetened up my day! I love chickens, too. xoxo
Julie, Julie, Julie, I love all your chickens -- the plates are fabulous and you know I would love the big red one who is in charge of baking! You certainly have a lot of of them and they are so fun and brighten up your home. Your momma chicken and the cute little babes are so fun. Joni
Wow, Julie you truly have a "gaggle" of chickens and roosters don't you? I guess though, that a gaggle is for geese ~ sorry. :-) Love them all but the red one that supervises the baking is my favorite. Of course, I love to bake too!
xo
Pat

What a great rooster collection you have! I especially like the one guarding the beans!
My brother in law LOVES roosters...and my sister, his new wife HATES THEM! It's been so fun to watch him sneak his rooster stuff in to their house. I just know that he'd LOVE your collection! :)
oh Julie~ your collection is lovely!
I especially love your Momma hen & her new chicks. Very precious♥
A lot of wonderful chickens in your life :) I especially love the polka dot ones and also the chair pads.
Blessings,
Marcia
Hi Julie,
I enjoyed all of your chickens and roosters...especially the real ones! My mother used to raise chickens and sell the eggs. You have a great collection! Enjoyed all of your photos. (I was visiting my sister-in-law last week and she has a lot of chickens and roosters too.) :)
How cute! What a fun theme for your whole house :)
That's quite the coop, er I mean collection you have there! Very tastefully displayed!
No doubt about it... you are a fan of chickens :)
Love your collections!
Hope all is going well.
Holy cow, that is quite an amazing collection!!! I can't decide if the red rooster who guards the baking or the one who guards the beans is my favorite!!!! And I am head over heels crazy about your chair pads - gorgeous!!!! What fun! xo
LOL! Is that why I got chickens?! Now that I think about it, it's TRUE! Love it Julie! Sweet chicken collection!
Hugs,
Maryjane
LOVE your collection!
That is quite a beautiful and unique collection you have.
I have a collection of cows,but I have been trying to downsize.
Thanks for sharing
Hugs
It wasn't a coincidence that I started breeding horses when my kids all left home...
Mothers have to mother, it's just the way it is!
xxoo,

You have a great collection of Roosters! Your daughter is a great artist,love your real chickens too.
What a fabulous collection! I like the big fat hen the best, soooooo cute! The real ones are so sweet, I had planned on getting some this summer but with all the construction going on there just wasn't time. My Mom has chickens on top of her kitchen cupboards. I should take a picture of them and join the fun!!
Hi Julie! OH, I've been thinking, if you sell your beautiful home what will you do with your live Roos and Chicks?
Oh, wasn't the party fun? Thank you again for coming!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I tried to pick a favorite but I can't! What a happy collection. ♥
Coming back by to say thanks for coming over for bread. :)
It really is a good recipe...
hugs, bj
Totally love the hens!!!!!
It's sorta funny, cuz I'm trying to talk my hubby into letting me get three layers in my backyard.
So I'm totally loving this post.
You are one awesome CHICK!
Hi Julie,
What an amazing collection of roosters and chicks you have. Too hard to decide which one I like the best. But I do love the yard birds and her little baby chicks. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog to visit!
