Who Put The Chicken in the Tree?

December 29, 2010 / 21 Comments

I live in an area filled with cherry, apricot, orange, fig, peach, apple, persimmon, and chicken trees.  Wait!  What did I just say?  Chicken trees?

Yes, chicken trees!  Brigette’s friends, Dan & Teresa were wondering what was happening to their persimmons.  Now they know!  These are their chickens in their persimmon tree! Photo courtesy of Dan & Teresa!

If I ever design a quilt with chickens in a tree you’ll know where I got the inspiration!

Counting down to 2011 with a smile!

Hugs,

Anne

    Wow I have lived in a farming community all my life and have never seen a chicken sit in a tree. I absolutly got a kick out of seeing that photo! And yes, it make a great block of the month piece. A French country or Americana theme could make it work. Take care Anne!

    I sent your pictures to my friend who has chickens and peacocks. She said her chickens will fly up into her fig tree! Too funny!
    Thanks so much for A Tisket/A Tasket (which I am finishing now) and Snowbound – only 3 blocks till I’m ready to put it together! They have been so much fun and are just darling, if I do say so myself! Happy New Year!

    Great photo!! Who would have guessed that chickens would love persimmons OR that you would find chickens in a tree??? Your comment and Nancy C’s comment about Chickens in a Persimmon Tree is a pretty creative idea. I guess it’s true – you just never know where you might find inspiration!! :)

    Another blogger posted recently about turkeys in their trees! What’s up with the fowl lately?????

    Yes, I do know about chickens in trees. LOL!

    Many years ago, my parents came home to find a chicken in the tree outside their side door. Now, they lived in a small town but they did not have any farms near them. They never did figure out where the chicken came from.

    What happened to the chicken? He disappeared. They thought the chicken had moved on but they did find a small pile of feathers in the yard so the chicken might have ended up as dinner. :-(

    Loved the picture!
