...the sky is falling....the sky is falling...

What is it about chickens and roosters that we all seem to love..??
Roosters especially, can be Frenchy..
and we all love FRENCH anything.

They can be FarmHouse...
and a lot of people like that old-fashioned FARM HOUSE FEEL...

and SOME roosters can be downright SASSY...

or is that COC of the Walk..??
I never really know..
UPDATE....
French version of Cock is COQ of the Walk 
 either way, they are so cute strutting around my kitchen


and then....I have this ugly one...
I found him in a thrift store for a little over $1.00
its a Mackenzie*Childs pitcher and sells for just a bit over $100.00..
now, I really got a deal on this even tho I don't think it's very pretty...
  

I will admit that he has very pretty tail feathers...

here's the link to order him from Mackenzie*Childs
he is listed as $125.00
C.R.A.Z.Y.
 

 NOW...this Mr. Rooster on a polka dot plate
is a favorite of mine..
and there's always been a bit of envy between these two...

You can plainly see which rooster is the most handsome...


but they are all fun..

I have a few more roosters..some packed away, but have reduced 
THE FLOCK
quite a bit.






 I've been a bit under the weather the last few days and
our sweet grandgirls, 
DEEDS and BRYN
made this most beautiful pie for me...
In fact, it is downright STUNNING.
 so while I was having the roosters parade across my table,
I decided to have another slice of the BEST Chocolate pie.
 ...and believe me, it tastes as good as it looks..



and my favorite drink with Chocolate pie is icy cold milk...
I love this pretty green plastic goblet from The Dollar Store
for...
$1.00

    I've always thought it was "cock of the walk"....but then, what do I know? LOL Your chickens are cute - especially love the colorful, fun ones. That chocolate pie would make anyone well. Hope you are feeling better.

    I bought some roosters recently. I thought to myself that I would start collecting them in the kitchen. Then I thought.. they would never be out. Im always decorated for a holiday. I have no "normal". but I bought a few anyways and the collection needs to stop there for me. they are out right now.. but soon Halloween will take over every corner and nook and cranny of my house.. followed by christmas.. so the roosters are destined to spend months and months packed away! lol! but I sure do like them! lol!
    have a great day
    xoxo

    My sister is the rooster lover in my family. She used to have so much stuff but since older, she only has a few things she will not part with.Sorry you are not up to par, but thankful the "girls" are taking good care of you. One thing for sure, if I had those pies, they would either cure or kill me. Stay cool and take care.

    I think "Cock of the walk" is correct as well. What darling grand daughter's. The chocolate pie looks just fine.

    God bless.

    Oh I love roosters I guess because it does make me think of a French countryside farmhouse lifestyle and I love your less-than-handsome one. I bought a hen cookie jar at an auction that actually crows when you lift the top -- silly and certainly not a cock-of-the-walk but close! Feel better soon. xxx J.

    BJ, Not only did you pass your "pretty girl"genes to the grandgirls, you passed the cooking gene too. LOL. That pie looks so tasty. I love chickens too. My daughter who raises them has her kitchen /family room done in chicken décor. I really like M.Childs décor...but that pitcher, I do not think I would pay the asking price. LOL. You got a deal. Blessings, take care of yourself. xoxo, Susie

    Those grands sure know how to make Grandma feel better, that pie would do it for me ;) You got a great deal on the MC pitcher, I usually love everything they do but I have to admit that piece isn't their usual quality. I might put it on ebay and se if I could get enough to buy one of their pieces that really makes my heart sing!
