HappyhenSG Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have sadly lost 2 of my ex-bats in the last few months and they are buried at the end of the garden in our little 'pet cemetery' with my other departed pets. We've put a slab marking the spot (also to stop foxes digging) but would like to put something on top. Does anyone know where I can get a small chicken (not rooster) garden ornament - pref stone coloured as opposed to a painted one. I can find cats, rabbits, etc very easily but all the chicken ones seem a bit gawdy and not very fitting for a gravestone. Wiltshire area preferred so I can collect as I'd imagine the postage would be rather expensive. Hope you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I dont know if Wyevale do any chicken ones and I saw a website in Country Living called www.forclucksake.com which had some nice things. If you or OH are artisitic - you could if you had time sand any paint on gawdy ones down and repaint it yourselves. My dad did that on an owl which had a broken ear. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyhenSG Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks for all your replies - I would prefer something physical so to speak, that I can put on their graves although the memorial sites are a lovely idea. I do like the little brass hen, although I suspect that my 3yr old son will do too, and is therefore likely to play with it Will keep looking - I guess something will turn up some day.

Cinnamon Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Just a thought,but I have a really nice metal hen shaped egg basket, which would be weather proof & you could line it plant it up with something maybe? A bit like THIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyhenSG Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Like that idea Cinnamon, thanks! Had seen some hen topiary things but am not into topiary - could plant this up nicely though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
