Uncle Sam’s Christmas Ornaments

Thanks to the uncles Christmas visit and their cooler, we’ve been enjoying fresh eggs all weekend.  Uncle Sam brought another treat courtesy of the chickens…

Chicken foot Christmas ornaments – bedazzled, of course!  For those of you thinking “This guy is sick” – you’re absolutely right about that but not when it comes to his girls.  From luxe accommodations to fresh spring water, these are among the most well cared for hens you’ll ever meet.  Here’s an example – this year’s Christmas card:

That’s Uncle Sam on the right with one of the girls – a Barred Rock, I believe.

This is the other ornament he made – a Grinch made out of okra.  He normally paints Santa, but the okra suits the Grinch’s pointy features much better.  In case you’re curious about the process, both the chicken feet and okra were placed in a dehydrator before being painted.

  1. I hope it’s not the chicken foot; it’s meant to bring joy.
