Crystal Canary says:Oh, I’d love to have chickens too! That really is the coolest chicken bead I’ve ever seen–I really like the black feathers. The simplicity of the necklace was the perfect choice to enhance her beauty.

dolllady aka Pam says:I remember one of my elementary teachers in Iowa reading it to us. This necklace reminds me of my grandma’s arms being scratched up from them.
Your necklace is a fantastic memory maker and would be fun to wear!

K Ralston says:Chicken little – the sky is falling, the sky is falling. I prefer my wild birds to chickens. It takes a fortune now to feed all these piggy birds that have discovered the Oasis, but they bring a lot of joy. I watch videos by people who have homesteads and chickens, and they lose them to predators quite often. I don’t think I could handle that if I got attached to them. But I digress, LOL. It’s a really cute necklace Robin. The lampwork chicken is so fun.
