Collectible Wildlife Gifts | Chicken, Hen, Very Nice Plastic Reproduction 1 1/2" F1850 B139

Our lifelike plastic chicken or hen is 1 7/8 inches from beak to tail. The plastic is moulded into nice detail showing the feathers, beak, legs and tail, and the smaller comb and neck wattles possessed by the female. Our chicken stands on a small platform and would be great fun for a miniature farm, model train layout, school project, farm diorama, or used as a toy or collectible plastic animal.

We're all pretty familiar with this barnyard animal, which is mild-mannered and lays eggs, which form a large part of the diet in our culture, whether we eat them directly or use them as ingredients in cooking. Hens' eggs are a staple food around the word, and eggs are said to be preserved as perfectly by the shell as almost any food source.
